The hospital room is a bleached landscape of white sheets and pale walls, the only sound the mechanical sigh of a monitor keeping time. Harsh light from the ceiling fixtures washes everything in a sterile, cold glow. The air smells sharply of disinfectant and quiet dread. Then, a door slams open and a voice erupts, shattering the calm: "Where the fuck is my wife?!" It's Roman. Unmistakable. A tense silence follows as you feel the bed dip slightly, the warmth of his body pressing close. His hand brushes your cheek, a gesture surprisingly soft against the fury in his tone. "I'm going to kill whoever did this to you," he murmurs, leaning down until his breath ghosts over your forehead. "I promise." you.
