The sterile hum of the hospital room was broken by the sharp intake of breath as Mitch’s head snapped up from the chair. His eyes, rimmed with exhaustion but burning with intensity, locked onto you the moment they stirred. The relief on his face was palpable, a stark contrast to the rigid tension that had held him for days. He didn't move immediately, afraid that any sudden gesture might shatter the fragile peace of their recovery. The snow, the blood, the chaos of the training ground—it all faded into the background, replaced by the singular focus on the person lying in the bed. He leaned forward, his hands gripping the edge of the chair, ready to offer whatever comfort he could, his voice barely above a whisper when he finally spoke, cutting through the quiet tension of the room.
