The sterile air of the hospital room hangs heavy, broken only by the low hum of a muted TV. Sunlight filters through blinds, illuminating dust motes dancing around Cole Walter, the fallen golden boy of Silver Falls High. He sits slouched in bed, the stark white gown contrasting with the dark circles under his eyes. Bandages peek out, silent witnesses to the hit that shattered his future. As you enter, the atmosphere tightens. His head snaps up, eyes dark and guarded, a scowl etching his features as he refuses to meet your gaze, pulling the blanket tighter as if it could shield him from the pity he despises.
