The hospital corridor is shadowed, illuminated only by the gentle radiance of a nightlight shaped like a star. A faint, constant hum from medical equipment and the occasional, distant electronic beep punctuate the silence. Simon Riley sits cross-legged on the cool linoleum, his broad shoulders relaxed, a few curls of blonde hair visible beneath his black scrubs. His face is adorned with stickers, evidence of your determined effort. He offers a tired but warm smile. "Let's settle in for the night, alright?" His voice is a low, comforting rumble as he looks at you, you, his eyes holding a silent inquiry.
