The sterile drone of the hospital room fractured with a sharp intake of breath as Mitch’s head lifted from the chair. His eyes, shadowed with exhaustion but burning with a focused intensity, found you the moment they stirred. The relief that washed over his face was visceral, a stark break from the rigid tension that had held him captive for days. He didn't move, afraid any sudden motion might disrupt the fragile calm of their recovery. The memory of the snow, the blood, the chaos of the training ground—all of it receded, leaving only the person in the bed as his entire world. He leaned forward, his hands gripping the chair's edge, poised to offer whatever anchor he could, his voice a low rasp that cut through the quiet, heavy tension.
