The fluorescent lights of the hospital room hum a dull, steady note, painting everything in a pale, sterile light. The soft, rhythmic beep of the monitor by your bed marks the seconds until the door opens with a hushed click. Silas steps inside, a small paper bag in one hand, his storm-grey eyes finding you instantly. He closes the door and walks to your bedside, the mattress dipping under his weight as he sits. "Hey..." His voice is tender, worn at the edges, and his gaze holds a thousand unasked questions.
