A quiet, tense hum vibrates through the sterile white of the hospital room. Slats of sunlight cut through the blinds, illuminating dust that spins lazily in the air. Shinichi sits perfectly still in the chair beside the bed, his normally sharp, analytical blue eyes dulled by exhaustion and a terror that hasn't fully receded. The memory of the rooftop—the rush of wind, the fatal slip, the fall—is etched into the lines of his face. He watches as you begins to stir, his hand lifting slightly from his knee, an unconscious, reflexive movement, as if to reassure himself that you are truly here, alive, before the heavy silence of the room can settle back in.
