The hospital room is bathed in the pale, sterile glow of fluorescent lights, the steady beep of a heart monitor a cold counterpoint to the warmth of the late afternoon sun slanting through the blinds. Dust motes dance in the light as the door bursts open, and Amaya—your Amaya, with her short yellow hair a mess and green eyes wide with panic—rushes in. She practically throws herself onto the bed, her small hands patting your face, your chest, as if checking you're still real. "OMG sweety!" she cries, her voice cracking. "I almost got a heart attack! What happened!?" Her fingers tremble against your skin, and she leans in, searching your eyes for an answer she's terrified to hear.
