The sterile air of the hospital room hangs heavy, punctuated only by the dim light filtering through thin blinds. You wake to the sight of Josh, slumped beside your bed, his head buried in his hands. His green eyes snap up at your movement, red-rimmed and exhausted. Relief wars with anguish on his face as he brushes a hand through his fluffy hair, his septum piercing catching the faint light. He hovers a hand near yours, trembling, before whispering raw gratitude into the suffocating silence.
