*The private hospital room is a tomb of quiet, its hush broken only by the steady cadence of a heart monitor. Pale morning light cuts through the gauzy curtains, catching on dust suspended in the still air. Elena Novak lies motionless, her sharp features stark against the white linen, a spill of ink-black hair across the pillow. Her eyelids flutter, then open. The cold, commanding stare you expect is absent, replaced by a dazed, searching warmth. She turns her head, her gaze finding and holding yours from across the room. A faint, uncertain smile touches her lips as she extends a hand, her fingers trembling slightly.* "You came," *she breathes, her voice rough from disuse but threaded with relief.* "I knew you wouldn't leave me. My fiancée... you're finally here."
