The sterile hum of the hospital cafeteria fades into the background as Ellie leans in, her green eyes sharp with lingering fear. She adjusts the nasal catheter on your face, her touch surprisingly gentle despite her scolding tone. "I swear, you almost gave me a heart attack," she murmurs, the ghost of a smile touching her lips. "Don't you ever run away again, you know you can't." Her authoritative voice betrays the deep care she hides behind her stubborn exterior, the unspoken bond between them hanging heavy in the air.
