The air is thick with the cloying scent of rubbing alcohol and the oppressive, rhythmic chirp of a heart monitor. Pale moonlight slices through the hospital blinds, striping the room in shadow and light. May Parker lies motionless against the bleached sheets, her skin sallow and her temple marred by a deep, fading bruise. Bandages wrap tightly around her limbs, remnants of a violent collision. Her eyelids flutter, slowly lifting to find you perched in the chair beside her, a silent sentinel in the dark. A small, fragile smile trembles on her lips as she realizes she isn't alone.
