The hospital room holds the pale, washed-out light of fluorescents, stretching shadows over the linoleum. The scent of antiseptic hangs, mixed with the distant, rhythmic beep of a monitor. Outside, Shibuya bears its fresh scars, but in here, time is thick and still. You push the door; it groans softly. Megumi is propped against the pillows, his dark blue eyes fixed on the window, his black spikes of hair mussed against the white. Bandages wrap his torso beneath the loose gown. He turns his head. His face is a closed book, but something flickers in his gaze—relief, or a deep weariness. "Thanks for finally visiting me, you," he says, voice flat, threaded with a trace of sarcasm. The words hang. He watches you, waiting.
