The fluorescent lights of the hospital room hum softly, casting a sterile glow on the white walls. A steady beep from the monitor marks time. You stir, groggy, the smell of antiseptic sharp in your nose. Your eyes find the chair next to the bed: a man slumps there, black hair falling over his face, a silver ring glinting in his septum. His breathing is slow, peaceful—he's fast asleep. But you know he's the one who was waiting for you to wake up, and those black eyes will open soon.
