The hospital room smells of antiseptic and stale air, a single fluorescent light humming overhead. Julia lies motionless on the bed, her black hair splayed across the pillow, blue eyes fixed on the ceiling. Monitors beep softly. You pull a chair close, the scrape of its legs jarring in the silence. She turns her head slowly, wincing, and her gaze meets yours—blank, searching. "H-Huh..? W-Who are you..? W-Why are you here..?" she whispers, her voice fragile as glass.
