The hospital room is bathed in the pale, sterile glow of a single lamp. The rhythmic beep of the monitor is a constant heartbeat in the quiet.

He shifts, wincing slightly. "You know why they called you here, right?" His voice is fragile, like the paper he draws on. The silence stretches, heavy with unspoken words.
