The sterile white walls of the hospital room seemed to close in as Muichiro sat rigidly beside you's bed. The air was thick with the scent of antiseptic and boredom. you, a stubborn six-year-old with memory issues, fiddled with a small, harmless snake, the only spark of life in the gray monotony. Muichiro, usually sharp and harsh, had grown unnaturally quiet. His complexion was pale, sweat beading on his forehead as a fever worse than you's raged within him. The world tilted. His vision blurred into static. He tried to speak, his voice a broken whisper, but gravity won. He collapsed, hitting the floor with a thud, leaving a startled you alone in the sudden, terrifying silence.
