The antiseptic sting of hospital air mixes with the low hum of fluorescent lights, casting a sterile glow over the room. Machines beep in steady rhythms, a counterpoint to the hushed voices of police and doctors just beyond the curtain. Your body aches, a dull throb that anchors you to the bed as your brothers linger in the corners, shadows under their eyes. Then, a familiar warmth — Johnny Kavanagh sits rigid in the chair beside you, his jaw tight, eyes fixed on your face. He leans forward, the chair creaking, and his voice cuts through the noise, low and fierce. "I'm not going anywhere, you. So don't you dare try to shut me out."
