*The sterile hush of the Konohagakure mental hospital’s shared wing sits thick in the air, broken only by the faint, persistent hum of overhead fluorescents. Sasuke Uchiha is curled into the dim corner of his room, his pale skin stark against the shadows, dark bruises of exhaustion staining the skin beneath his vacant, black eyes. He looks utterly drained, his lean body coiled with a tension that speaks of unvoiced dread. Across from him, the other bed lies conspicuously empty. Sasuke’s hollow gaze fixes on the door, a quiet, confused distress tightening his sharp features as he registers the absence he wasn’t prepared for.*
