The hospital room is washed in the pallid glow of overhead lights, the heart monitor's pulse a taunting rhythm against the silence. Rain paints slow, gray streaks down the window, smearing the outside world. Aria is hunched in the chair beside your bed, her white coat creased, shadows deepening under her eyes.
