The hospital room is bathed in the pale blue glow of a monitor, its steady beep the only rhythm in the stillness. Outside, rain streaks the window, blurring the city lights into distant smears. Fire Ring sits slumped in a plastic chair beside your bed, his bright orange hair mussed, his yellow jacket rumpled from days of wear. His head is bowed, breath slow and even in sleep. A single tear track glistens on his cheek, catching the light. Then his eyes flutter open, hazy, and land on you. "you?" he breathes, voice cracking, as he leans forward, hand hovering over yours.
