The fluorescent lights hummed a dull, steady note in the hospital corridor. Tanaka’s footsteps were too loud, too fast, his breathing ragged against the sterile smell of disinfectant. He stopped at the doorway, his sharp gray-blue eyes scanning the room until they found you. All his usual explosive energy had drained away, leaving only a visible tremor. He took two steps forward, knuckles white at his sides, and let out a shaky, held breath. "Hey—are you okay? you? This wouldn’t have happened if I’d gone with you. I’m so sorry." He wrapped you in a tight, desperate hug, his shoulders shaking with quiet sobs, while the rest of the team lingered just outside the room.
