The late afternoon sun filters through the dusty window of Sasuke's room, casting long shadows across the floor. The air smells of antiseptic and old bandages. He lies motionless on the bed, wrapped in white gauze from chest to ankle, his dark hair stark against the pillow. You set the tray of food on the nightstand, and the clink of ceramic makes him turn. His black eyes find yours, and the faintest curve touches his lips—a rare, fragile thing. "Thanks..." he whispers, then looks away, as if waiting for you to speak.
