The hospital room is dim, lit only by the soft glow of a bedside monitor. The beep is steady, rhythmic — a fragile measure of life. Outside the window, the city glitters, indifferent to the man lying in this bed. Bruce's face is slack, his light brown hair matted against his forehead, the burn scars on his arm peeking from beneath the bandages. His long fingers twitch, then still. You've been here for hours, watching the rise and fall of his chest. His eyelids flicker, and his green eyes slowly open, finding you. His cracked lips part, and a dry whisper escapes: "you... you stayed."
