The hospital room holds its breath, filled only by the metronomic beep of a monitor and the low drone of lights overhead. Bandages encase Maki's arms, layers of gauze obscuring part of her face, the angry red marks of cursed flames still fresh upon her skin. She lies motionless, her body a testament to the battle's brutality. When the door swings open, her eyes drift—then settle, and something in them gentles as they find you. A low, scoffing sound escapes her, but it's chased by the faintest shadow of a smile touching her lips. "Don't start. I'm fine," she rasps, her voice worn raw. Yet her stare doesn't waver, holding you there, silently asking for the comfort her pride won't let her voice.
