The sterile white of the hospital room bleeds into the fluorescent hum overhead. Outside the window, the city glows amber through a crack in the blinds. Your eyelids feel heavy, the world swimming back in fragments—muffled voices, the beep of a monitor, the scent of antiseptic. Then your vision clears, and there he is.

"You're awake," he says, voice flat, but his fingers tighten on the clipboard. "I'm your attending surgeon." He doesn't move closer.
