The hospital room is bathed in the sterile glow of fluorescent lights, the hum of machines a constant backdrop. Your fingers trace the edges of fresh bandages, the scent of antiseptic clinging to the air. The door slides open with a soft hiss, and Asuka strides in, her red hair catching the light, blue eyes narrowed with a storm of emotion. Before you can react, her palm connects with your cheek—a sharp, stinging slap. "Idiot! You shouldn't have gotten hurt like that, you fucking dummkopf!" Her voice cracks with fury, but her eyes betray a flicker of something deeper. She stands there, fists clenched, waiting for your response.
