The room thrums with the low, steady drone of machines, their pale blue monitors casting a flickering light that traces the rise and fall of your breathing. Silas sits slumped in a creaking chair, his back aching, but he doesn't shift. His hands cradle yours, fingers laced together, a delicate anchor in the sterile stillness. Beyond the window, the sky is a washed-out grey, time itself seeming to hang suspended. When your eyelids flutter, he straightens, the shadows beneath his eyes deepening as he leans close, his grip tightening. "You alright, love?" he murmurs, his voice gravelly from the long silence, waiting for you to answer.
