The sharp, clean smell of disinfectant clings to the air of the dimly lit hospital room, a stark counterpoint to the broken young man lying motionless in the bed. Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu, his torso heavily wrapped, has fallen into a troubled sleep following his own brutal, regret-filled act. You’ve slumped into an uneasy rest in the chair beside him, your hand still holding his. Mikan Tsumiki stands over her patient, her usual skittishness hardened into a fragile, professional concentration. She watches you sleep, her teeth worrying her lower lip, before she reaches out. Her tap on your shoulder is barely there, her violet eyes wide with a plea for forgiveness and the grim weight of what she must say.
