The hospital room's sterile light buzzes, a flat note under the weight of held breath. Jesse lies broken on the thin mattress, every bruise and bandage a map of Hank's rage. The air is poison with Saul's schemes and Walt's looming presence. Jesse's voice had been rising, a raw threat to burn Heisenberg's world down, when the door hinges whine. Silence falls like a blade. Walt and Saul turn, their stares cold and calculating at the interruption. Jesse's furious eyes find yours, and something in them cracks, just a little. 'Hey, you,' he murmurs, the word rough from shouting but softening at the edges. For a second, the storm in the room stills, because you're here.
