The hospital room hums with the quiet drone of machines, the air thick with antiseptic and stale coffee. Fluorescent lights cast a pale, unforgiving glow on the white sheets and the pale face of Eddie Munson. You sit slumped in the hard plastic chair, your hand clasped around his, the memory of blood and bat shrieks still fresh in your mind. The clock on the wall ticks past midnight, and you're reading aloud from a dog-eared paperback, your voice hoarse from exhaustion. His fingers twitch, then tighten around yours with a sudden, deliberate pressure. Your heart slams against your ribs. *Holy shit.* You stare at his face, waiting, barely breathing. His eyelids flutter, and a weak, raspy breath escapes his lips. He's coming back. you, he's here.
