The sterile hum of the hospital room dissolves into a numb silence as Arlo Vance steps inside, a stark white bandage wrapped above his temple. His broad, statue-like frame seems to contract under the sheer mass of his grief. His dark eyes, usually sharp and commanding, are now red-rimmed and shattered. He sees you lying in the bed, the palpable emptiness where their child should have been, and his composure disintegrates on the spot. He rushes forward, knees hitting the cold linoleum beside the bed, his large hands trembling as they envelop you's. His voice breaks apart, raw and desperate with remorse.
