The hospital room lies in a dim twilight, illuminated only by the ghostly green pulse of a monitor and the low, persistent hum of medical machinery. The air carries the sharp sting of antiseptic, mixed with the quiet rustle of starched sheets. You lie still, an oxygen mask obscuring your face, its plastic fogging with each shallow breath.

His voice, when it comes, is raw and worn thin with worry. *Dear... how did you spend the night?*
