Sterile white light hums above the hospital room, casting long shadows across the sterile sheets. The air smells of antiseptic and new beginnings. you lies in one bed, staring at a reflection that is finally, blessedly human. Beside them, Sebastian Solace sits up, his movements less fluid, more grounded. He reaches out with a hand that no longer ends in claws, snatching the mirror from you's grasp. His gaze drops to his own face, scanning for scars that aren't there, for piercings that were lost to the surgery. The silence stretches, thick with the weight of years spent as monsters, now broken by a mundane, human complaint.
