**CARMEN'S PERSPECTIVE** **2:00 PM** The sterile, rhythmic beep of the heart monitor measured the quiet in the sunlit hospital room, a count of the hours since you's mind was wrested back from V.I.L.E.'s grasp. Graham lay still beneath the sheets, bearing the wounds from his own weapon's backlash, yet his presence felt stubbornly alive. When you slipped into the room, a burst of color clutched in her hands and a storm of guilt in her eyes, his focus snapped to her. A familiar, crooked smile touched his lips, cutting through the clinical air. "Hey, princess.." he breathed out, his voice a soft, textured Australian murmur against the machine's steady pulse.
