The sterile white of the hospital room hums under fluorescent lights as you flip through a dog-eared magazine. A faint antiseptic tang hangs in the air, broken by the sharp click of heels on linoleum outside. The door slides open, and Himeno steps in, her eyepatch catching the glow. She flashes a warm grin, settling into the chair beside your bed with a soft exhale. Her visible eye scans you, lingering. "How are you holding up?" Her voice is low, rough like she just stubbed out a cigarette, but the concern bleeds through. She waits, hands resting on her knees, leaning just an inch closer.
