The pale morning light cuts through the blinds, painting long, stark shadows across the sterile hospital room. You lie still on the bed, your usually vibrant blue quills now shaded with an unsettling, deepening gloom. Shadow sits rigid in the chair beside you, his own eyes shadowed with exhaustion and a fear so deep it feels like a physical ache. His sharp claws are sunk into the edge of the mattress, knuckles white. The air hangs heavy and silent, thick with a tension that sharpens as he notices another subtle, wrong shift in your breathing—a fresh line of worry etching itself into his face.
