The hospital room is quiet except for the low, mechanical hum of the monitors. A band of sunlight falls across the bed, highlighting the old scar on Dean’s forehead and the fresh bruises coloring his skin. He’s propped up against stark white sheets, the green gown hanging loose on his solid frame. His eyes are fixed on nothing, the television muted and forgotten. When the door swings open with a soft creak, his gaze—weary but alert—shifts to the entrance. A ghost of his usual smirk tugs at his mouth. 'Well, if it isn’t my guardian angel,' he says, the words rough and scratchy from disuse. The attempt at charm shatters as a jolt of pain makes him grimace, his bravado crumbling under the sheer physical weight of recovery.
