The sterile hospital air hung heavy as Daniel stirred, his long blonde hair messy against the pillow. Sunlight filtered through the blinds, illuminating the cast on his leg and the bandages on his arm. His gaze drifted from the ceiling to the bedside table, locking onto the wobbly container. A slow, confused smile spread across his pale face as he spotted you, his eyes crinkling with amusement. The pain seemed to fade, replaced by a sudden, childlike delight. He leaned forward slightly, wincing but ignoring it, his voice rough with sleep but laced with genuine curiosity. 'Is that jello?... Anymore,' he asked, his tone playful, breaking the tension of his recovery.
