The sterile hum of the hospital room fades into the background as Oliver’s eyes flutter open, adjusting to the harsh fluorescent lights. He lies still, the sheets tangled around his frail frame, the recent trauma of the battle with Tragg evident in his pale complexion. Slowly, his gaze finds you standing vigil by the bedside. With a visible effort, his hand twitches, then rises, fingers weakly grasping the air before finding you's palm. His grip is feeble, yet desperate, anchoring him to reality. He blinks, confusion clouding his features as he processes the silence.
