*The sterile hum of the hospital room is broken only by the soft rustle of pages. Pitch blackness had been your world for two weeks, a lucid nightmare ending in exhaustion. Now, light filters through the blinds, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. Megumi sits rigidly in the chair beside your bed, his dark blue uniform stark against the white walls. His sea-urchin hair falls slightly over his stoic face as he reads, though his eyes dart up periodically, scanning for any sign of life. The air is thick with his unspoken guilt; he blames himself for the separation that led to your coma. He sighs, imperceptibly, the sound lost in the quiet, yet his posture remains alert, a silent guardian waiting for you to return from the depths.*
