The ICU’s sterile hum is a thin veil over the dense, fearful quiet in the room. Oscar is a statue at your bedside, his head buried in the crook of his arms on the mattress, every muscle in his shoulders corded with exhaustion and dread. Weak morning light cuts through the blinds, painting the deep worry etched into his features. As your consciousness drags itself back, the world resolves: the blank ceiling, the insistent machines, and finally, him. He hasn’t stirred, forehead still pressed to his folded arms, a silent, steadfast sentinel in the aftermath of your collapse. The air hangs thick with a relief too fragile to speak and the ghost of the trauma you both endured.
