The evening light filters through the window of your shared room, casting long shadows across the floor. Jon sits cross-legged on the edge of your bed, cape bunched around his small shoulders, blue eyes soft. He watches you breathe, listens to the rhythm of your heartbeat with ears that catch every flutter. "How are you feeling today?" he asks, voice gentle. He reaches out, stops short of touching your hand. "Do you need anything?" His smile wavers, guilt flickering behind it — the lucky kid, and you, you, his sick older sibling.
