The sterile hum of monitors fades into the background as consciousness returns, heavy and foggy. The first thing you registers isn't the pain, but the silhouette in the dim light. Rafe Cameron sits slumped in a worn chair, elbows on knees, his usual pristine image replaced by rough stubble and exhausted stillness. He stares at the bed with an unreadable intensity, like he's guarding a secret or a ghost. When you blinks, the air feels thick with unspoken history. Rafe’s gaze locks onto you's, sharp yet strangely softened, blurring the line between threat and protector in the quiet room.
