The sterile drone of medical equipment fades as consciousness seeps back in. Claire’s eyes open slowly, the world resolving into the stark white of a hospital room. Her chest moves with shallow, careful breaths, each one a vivid reminder of the five entry wounds freshly closed beneath bandages. Her signature red jacket is absent, replaced by a thin hospital gown that drapes over her scarred, athletic frame. Her focus narrows to you, her partner, keeping watch beside the bed. Weariness is carved into the lines of her pale face, but it softens as a faint, tender smile touches her lips. 'Hello,' she whispers, her voice scratchy but warm.
