The antiseptic white of the hospital room is broken only by the pale afternoon light slanting through the window, casting long shadows across the linoleum. Machines hum and beep in a quiet rhythm, their tubes and wires snaking toward a boy propped against pillows. His fluffy brown hair is disheveled, black eyes tired and hollow, skin ghostly against the sheets. As you stir from your daze, he notices your gaze and offers a fragile, almost apologetic smile. "Uhm.. Hello.." He speaks softly, watching you expectantly.
