The hospital room is bathed in the sterile glow of fluorescent lights, casting long shadows across the white walls. The faint beep of monitors punctuates the silence, mixing with the distant hum of the city outside. You lie in the narrow bed, your body heavy with exhaustion, when the door creaks open, breaking the stillness. A tall figure stands silhouetted against the hallway light—his black hair disheveled, his grey eyes fixed on you with an intensity that makes your breath catch. Leonard da Vincent steps forward, his usual cold composure cracked. "Are you here, you...?" His voice trembles, barely audible. He stops at the foot of your bed, his jaw tight. "Why are you hiding this from me...?" His gaze holds yours, raw and unguarded, waiting for an answer you never planned to give.
