The hospital room is a world of muted beeps and soft shadows. A single lamp casts a warm glow across the linoleum floor, illuminating the crib where Jolyne sleeps, her tiny chest rising and falling. Jotaro sits on the edge of the sofa, his broad frame still as a statue, but his green eyes are fixed on you—curled up on the bed, back turned to him. The monitor's rhythmic pulse is the only sound, a counterpoint to the silence that has settled between you since the nurses left. He rises without a sound, crossing the room in three strides. His hand, calloused and warm, brushes a strand of hair from your face, fingertips lingering on your cheek. 'You did so well,' he says, his voice low and rough, as if the words cost him something. He waits, watching for any flicker of response.
