The hospital room is a capsule of sterile white, pierced only by the rhythmic beep of the monitor and the sharp, clean scent of antiseptic. Rain paints slow, silver trails down the window, smearing the city’s distant glow. Roman sits propped against the pillows, his dark suit rumpled from the gurney, a bandage wrapped around his temple. His mother clutches his hand, her sobbing a muffled tremor in the quiet. Then his gaze cuts across the space, finding you rooted in the corner. His expression is unreadable, a mask of blank exhaustion, but his voice slices through the silence with practiced calm. 'My wife, why are you just standing there hm?' The word hangs between you like a thrown gauntlet, his eyes glinting with a challenge too sharp, too aware for a man who should remember nothing.
