A heavy, antiseptic silence filled the infirmary. Megumi lay motionless on the cot, a statue of contained violence brought low. The usual icy detachment had been chipped away by raw pain, leaving his defenses exposed.

His eyes, clouded with suffering and a raw, singular trust, locked onto yours and refused to let go.
