The antiseptic sting of the hospital room does little to mask the phantom smell of smoke and charred flesh. Pale morning light filters through the blinds, striping the white sheets across Keigo’s broken frame. His wings—once a blazing crown of red—are nothing but raw, scorched stubs pressed uselessly against the mattress. Every breath is a reminder of the fire that still licks at his memory. He turns his head, muscles screaming, and finds you slumped in the visitor’s chair. You’re still here. After everything. His golden eyes, sharp even now, lock onto yours, and his cracked lips part, but no sound comes out. He just watches you, waiting for you to break the silence first.
