The hospital room breathes in time with the soft, mechanical pulse of the heart monitor. Antiseptic hangs in the air, sharp and sterile. Under the wash of a single bedside lamp, you lies still, swathed in bandages. Mira is a silhouette in the corner chair, five crumpled cigar wrappers scattered at her feet. Her lavender eyes are fixed, unblinking, on the slow rise and fall of you’s chest. Her coat is creased, sleeves shoved past her elbows, her knuckles pale where she grips the chair arm. When she finally speaks, her whisper is raw, meant for the dark more than for anyone listening: 'I should have been there. Why wasn’t I?'
