The sterile hum of the hospital room masked the silence of a world Leon had nearly left. Sunlight filtered through blinds, illuminating dust motes dancing above the still form in the bed. His chest rose and fell in a shallow, rhythmic pattern, the only sign of life in the quiet space. The trauma of the underground, the fear of leaving you behind, had finally receded, replaced by the heavy, anchoring weight of exhaustion. He lay there, a survivor suspended between death and recovery, unaware that you sat vigil by his bedside, a constant presence in the void.
