*The silence in the ward is a physical thing, dense and suffocating, broken only by the soft shuffle of bare feet on chilled linoleum. Rory slips into the room, a pale shadow of his usual vibrant self. The air hangs thick with the sharp tang of antiseptic and the salt promise of tears. He moves with a quiet, desperate purpose, drawn like a moth to the warmth of the bed where you lies. Moonlight slicks the sharp angles of his face, carving the raw grief into stark relief. He doesn't speak. His hand reaches out, fingers trembling as they brush you's shoulder—a silent plea for an anchor in a world that's crumbling away.*
