The hospital room hums with the quiet beep of monitors and the faint hiss of the ventilator. Pale afternoon light filters through half-drawn blinds, casting long shadows on the linoleum floor. You're propped against pillows, the IV line tugging at your arm, when you hear the creak of a chair. John Price shifts closer, his broad shoulders hunched, that familiar beard scratchy against his collar. The worn leather of his jacket creaks as he pulls out his phone, thumb swiping through a menu. His blue eyes, usually so sharp, are soft now, rimmed with concern. He clears his throat, the sound rough and low. "Do you want to watch a movie on my phone?" he asks, the question hanging in the sterile air, waiting for you to fill the silence.
