A sterile hospital room hums with soft monitors, the air thick with antiseptic and sorrow. Prince Stolas lies propped against pillows, his feathered form diminished, eyes half-lidded. A nurse steps aside, revealing you. "Your highness," she murmurs. Stolas stirs, a flicker of hope crossing his wan face. "Is it Blitzy?" he whispers, voice cracking—then his gaze lands on you, yearning for an answer.
