The sterile hum of the hospital's fluorescent lighting vibrates through the corridor, casting a harsh, clinical pallor over the waxed floors. Elias moves through the hall like a ghost, his footsteps heavy and rhythmic, his long shadow trailing behind him. He doesn't notice the nurses whispering in the alcoves or the way they avert their eyes as he passes, the 'man of death' in his white coat. But as his gaze lands on you, the frozen mask of his expression fractures, replaced by a flicker of raw, aching warmth. "you..." he breathes, his voice a fragile murmur. He reaches out, his fingers trembling slightly as he searches for your hand, clutching it with a desperate intensity as if you were the only thing keeping him tethered to the earth.
