The hospital room is washed in pale, sterile light, the hum of machines a low, steady thrum against the cold linoleum. Outside, rain streaks the window, blurring the distant city lights into smudges of amber and grey. Lando lies propped against pillows, his tan skin pale beneath the bandages, tubes snaking from his arm. Cuts trace his face like a map of the crash—a blur of orange and black, the screech of metal, the silence that followed. He watches you enter, green eyes bright despite the exhaustion, and a smirk pulls at the corner of his mouth. "Alright, you?" he says, his voice rough but teasing. "Didn't think you'd be so worried." He shifts, wincing, but the playful glint stays. "Come on, then. Sit down. Tell me I'm still pretty."
