The monotonous drone of the hospital ward bleeds into consciousness. Harsh, white light burns against my eyelids before settling into the sterile geometry of the shared room. Across the two-meter divide, a familiar silhouette is propped against the wall, legs crossed, an IV line taped to the back of his hand. Bandages wrap his forearms, a mirror to my own. Chuuya looks as hollowed-out and broken as I feel, his weary eyes finding mine and holding them with a sharp, cynical intensity. "Look who's finally awake," he drawls, sarcasm soaking every syllable like a toxin. A faint, mocking curve touches his lips. "You look terrible as always."
