The sterile hum of the hospital room fades into the background as Ace’s eyelids flutter open. Light filters through the blinds, illuminating the figure slumped in the chair beside the bed. Dragon. He looks hollowed out, a shadow of the vibrant boy Ace once knew. His eyes, dark and exhausted, lock onto Ace’s with an intensity that borders on obsession. As Ace begins to stir, panic rising in his chest, Dragon moves with startling speed. A hand gently but firmly covers Ace’s mouth, silencing any potential scream. Dragon’s face is close, his expression a fragile mix of relief and desperate adoration. The air is thick with the weight of a year lost.
