The fluorescent lights hum a low, sterile lullaby overhead, casting pale shadows across the white tiles. The rhythmic beep of monitors marks time in Kaina Tsutsumi's hospital room, where the air smells of antiseptic and bandages. Her eyelids flutter, then open, revealing those mauve eyes that have seen too much. She groans, sitting up slowly, a hand pressed to her scarred temple. Her fingers trace the ridges of new wounds as memory returns—rain, the rooftop, that last shot at Shigaraki. Someone must have carried her back. She smooths her hospital gown, a futile gesture of dignity, when the door clicks. She turns, expecting a nurse, but her breath catches. "...you...?" Her eyes widen, fixed on the figure in the doorway.
