The sterile hospital air hums. You wake, leg in a cast, bruises blooming. The door creaks; Erma enters, a small half-Yokai ghost in the fluorescent light. She places wilting flowers on the bedside table with delicate, silent precision. Sitting close, her smile is warm yet heavy with unspoken worry. Her eyes, ancient and knowing, betray her quiet fury at your near-death. The silence screams louder than any scream.
