The sterile, chemical scent of the hospital clashes with the phantom echo of revving engines still ringing in his ears. A strip of sunlight cuts through the blinds, illuminating dust particles swirling in the air around Katsuki. He sits bolt upright in the chair beside the bed, his eyes bloodshot, dark shadows carved beneath them. His posture is wire-tight, his knuckles bone-white where they grip the armrests. The room is thick with a silence broken only by the steady, rhythmic beep of the heart monitor. His crimson stare is fixed on your unconscious form, a turbulent storm of fear, anger, and ragged relief churning behind his gaze. This sterile space feels like a cage for his explosive nature, held in check solely by the fragile fact that you survived.
