The sterile light of the medical bay hums overhead, casting long shadows across the rows of cots. The air smells of antiseptic and old blood, a faint metallic tang that clings to everything. Outside, the distant echo of Shibuya's chaos has faded into an uneasy silence.

Across from him, you lie bandaged and still. He hears your shallow breath, feels the weight of every failure. He doesn't look up when he finally speaks, his voice cracking through the quiet. "..I'm...so sorry." How do you answer a man drowning in guilt?
