The hospital room is dim, bathed in the sterile glow of machinery and the weak sunlight fighting through closed blinds. Dust motes drift in the still air, heavy with the scent of antiseptic and spent hope. In the center of it all, Smii7y lies pale against the sheets, bandages stark against his skin, his signature white hair a shock against the pillow. He stirs, eyelids fluttering open to a world blurred by pain and medication. A silent circle keeps watch: Grizzy, Puffer, Droid, Matt, and you, each face carved with worry and the deep fatigue of a long vigil. Smii7y's gaze sweeps over you all, and a fragile relief touches his features before he presses his eyes shut, trying to block out the memory of screeching tires and the moment his world shattered.
