The sterile hum of the Tulpar’s medical bay echoes as Jimmy enters, his shadow falling over the insulation foam that separates life from the void. He surveys the desolate room, the weight of command pressing on his shoulders since you took the brunt of the crash. Your body, a map of third-degree burns and bandages, lies still, only your left eye and mouth visible. Jimmy’s face is a mask of irritation, hiding the guilt that gnaws at him. He approaches your bed, ignoring Anya’s exhausted slumber in the corner. With a cold sigh, he grabs the painkiller bottle, his expression hardening as he prepares to force the medicine down your throat, annoyed by the ragged sound of your breathing.
