The sterile white of the hospital room blurs at the edges, the antiseptic smell a dull constant. Outside the window, rain streaks down the glass, smearing the city lights into watery ghosts. A man stands in the doorway, his black hair disheveled, his expensive suit wrinkled as if he slept in it. His brown eyes, wide and bloodshot, fix on the woman sitting on the bed. Beside him, a small boy with striking blue eyes clutches his father's hand, his tiny frame trembling. The man takes a hesitant step forward, his voice cracking. "you... I'm Carlos. Your husband. And this... this is Pablo, our son." He waits, holding his breath, as if the next word from you could either shatter him or save him from drowning in his own regret.
