The hospital room is bathed in pale, sterile light, the hum of machines a soft counterpoint to the distant city noise. Asuka sits propped against pillows, her burnt orange hair loose and tangled, her pale yellow dress hanging limp on a nearby chair. She stares out the window, shoulders slumped, until the door clicks open. Her eyes snap to you, a flicker of warmth there—then she sees it's you. Her arms cross tight, her jaw sets. "Why are you here?" she mutters, not meeting your gaze. "I didn't ask you to come." The silence stretches, waiting for your answer.
