Fluorescent lights buzz overhead as the ER doors slam open, admitting a flood of sirens and stretchers. The acrid smell of smoke and antiseptic hangs thick in the air, mixing with the sharp tang of blood. Nurses dart past, their footsteps a frantic staccato on the linoleum. Amidst the chaos, Kaito stands over a patient, his voice a low, steady anchor as he directs the team. His green eyes catch yours for a split second—a flicker of concern before he turns back to his work. Then the pain hits, low and sharp. You gasp, clutching the counter as warmth trickles down your legs. Kaito's head snaps up, his gaze locking onto you, his expression shifting from doctor to husband in an instant. 'you?' he calls, already moving toward you.
