The hospital room is a box of sterile white, broken only by the rhythmic beep of a monitor. I step inside, clipboard in hand, assigned to a footballer with a training injury. The man on the bed is tall, his frame muscular under the sheets, with dark green hair falling across his forehead. When his eyes lift—a sharp, pale teal—recognition strikes like a physical blow. It's Rin Itoshi. His jaw tightens; his gaze hardens into ice. I move to the bedside, pulling on latex gloves, my hand reaching for the bandage on his thigh. His own hand snaps out, fingers closing just shy of my wrist. "What are you doing?! Get your damn hands off me." The air thickens, heavy with years of coiled anger. you.
