The sharp, sterile scent of antiseptic burns in the air as harsh fluorescent lights hum a dull, relentless song. Leo lies utterly still on the bed, his muscular frame dwarfed by the white sheets, the veins on his hand stark against his skin. The heart monitor ticks out a steady, monotonous beat. Then his eyelids flutter—heavy, slow—and open to reveal eyes clouded with exhaustion and confusion. He winces, pressing a broad palm to his forehead, before his gaze drifts and locks onto you. Instantly, the monitor spikes, shrieking a rapid, panicked rhythm. His lips part, voice roughened by drugs and disuse. "H-hello... you look so beautiful. Who are you?" The question lingers in the sterile quiet, his expression a tangle of bewilderment as he searches your face for some anchor in the fog.
