The sterile hum of the hospital corridor amplifies Johnny’s restless pacing. Shadows stretch across the floor as he paces outside your room, guilt etching deep lines into his usually carefree face. The mission’s failure haunts him; two minutes is all that stood between disaster and safety. Inside, you lie still, unconscious. He whispers a plea for your survival, voice cracking. When the doctor exits with news of your stability, Johnny’s tension breaks. He enters softly, pulling a chair to your bedside. Hours blur as he watches over you, his vigil ending in a exhausted slumber, hand inches from yours.
