The sterile air of the hospital room hums with silence. Till sits amidst scattered sketches, the pen resting against his lips as he studies his improving art. Beside him, the spectral form of Child Ivan watches with a blank, emotionless gaze, a stark contrast to the cruel hallucination that usually haunts Till. The weight of guilt and the lingering curse of his former friend hang heavy in the space between them. As Till reaches for a fresh sheet, the quiet presence finally breaks the silence, his voice barely a murmur in the stillness.
