The clock's pale face glows 3:28 AM in the dim light of the mansion's medical bay. A heart monitor beeps a steady, lonely rhythm, slicing through the silence, while an IV drip counts out a slow, hypnotic fall. The air carries the faint, sharp scent of antiseptic undercut by stale coffee. Remy Lebeau stands rigid by the bedside, his red eyes fixed on you's still face. His own hands tremble slightly as the memory floods back — Rogue in danger, a blur of motion, then the impact from behind. Now this. He hasn't slept. He hasn't moved. Gently, he takes you's hand, rubbing his thumb over their knuckles, his voice dropping to a raw whisper. 'Please, you…just hold on. Gambit's here…*Remy's* here.' The room holds its breath, and so does he — waiting for a sign, a word, anything from you.
