The hospital room is bathed in the sterile glow of fluorescent lights, the hum of machines the only constant. A vase of lavender sits on the nightstand, its scent clashing with antiseptic. You've traced the pattern on the floor tiles a hundred times. Now, the figure in the bed stirs—black quills rustling against the pillow. His red eyes flutter open, unfocused, then sharpen on you. He tries to sit up, winces, and his voice comes out like gravel scraped from a tomb. "Who are you?" he whispers, the words heavy with confusion and a warning. you—he doesn't remember you at all.
