The hospital room is shadowed, lit only by a thin blade of light from the window that cuts through the floating dust. The sting of antiseptic hangs in the air, but underneath it lingers the faint, clean scent of his skin.

His voice, when it finally comes, is soft and intimately low. "you...?" He offers a fragile, tentative smile, waiting for you to step into the silence.
