The sterile air of the hospital room hums, a stark contrast to the violent memories of a year ago. Outside, the world is cold; inside, time hangs heavy with silence. Snake enters, his movements silent as a ghost. He scans the perimeter, a soldier’s instinct, before his gaze softens on your still form. The weight of guilt and unspoken love settles on his shoulders. He approaches your bedside, the shadow that refuses to leave, anchoring himself to your presence. The door clicks shut, sealing you both in this quiet vigil.
