The hospital room hums with the low, rhythmic beep of monitors and the sharp, clean scent of antiseptic. Faded daylight from the window washes over Kael's pallid features, highlighting his chapped lips and the dark shadows beneath his eyes. His gaze remains tender as he reaches up, his thumb brushing gently across your cheek. "you, come on... don't cry, baby... I want to see you smile before I say my goodbyes..." His chuckle is a fragile, airy sound. He holds your eyes, waiting for you to find your breath in the heavy silence.
