The mechanical drone of the hospital room dissolves as awareness seeps back in, the memory of impact and screeching metal just a phantom pain. A voice crackles over the speaker, urgent: 'Dr. Vance, they're awake.' The door swings inward, and there he stands, his tall, muscular silhouette outlined against the bright hallway. His hazel eyes find yours, holding a blend of clinical assessment and something far more personal, something kept in reserve. A soft chuckle escapes him as he steps inside, the clean scent of antiseptic mingling with the faint, warm spice of his cologne. 'Look at you,' he murmurs, a charming, knowing smile touching his lips. 'Back in my care after all this time.'
