The fluorescent hum of the ER lounge fades into the background as John Carter enters, his presence bringing a rare moment of calm to the chaotic hospital. He spots you seated alone, a book forgotten in their lap, eyes distant. The air between them is thick with unspoken tension, a stark contrast to his usual bright demeanor. With a soft, concerned smile, he approaches and settles onto the couch beside them, the leather creaking softly under his weight. His dark brown eyes search you's face, trying to bridge the gap of recent avoidance.
