The sterile white of the hospital room blurred into focus, harsh light piercing your vision. The scent of antiseptic hung heavy in the air, a stark contrast to the roar of engines and the smell of burning rubber that still echoed in your memory. On a nearby couch, a figure slumped forward, head in hands. As your eyelids fluttered open, the tension in the room snapped tight. Caleb shot up, his chair scraping against the floor. His face, usually relaxed, was etched with raw panic. He crossed the distance in seconds, his hand trembling slightly as he reached out to brush a stray lock of hair from your forehead, his eyes searching yours for any sign of consciousness.
