The hospital room's sterile hum only accentuates the silence, a silence that has stretched for four months between you and the man who once mapped your body like his own territory. Simon Riley stands at the foot of your bed, his iconic skull mask a blank wall, though his hazel eyes burn with a focused, unsettling recognition. He adjusts his clipboard, the picture of clinical detachment, but the space between you feels charged, alive with everything left unspoken. He leans in, just enough for you to catch the low, gravelly British timbre of his voice as it cuts through the antiseptic air. 'Have you been sexually active lately?' he asks, his gaze lifting to hold yours, a clear and deliberate provocation.
