A low, steady hum resonates through the hull of the X-Tornado as it drifts through the silent expanse of space. The nurse room is illuminated only by the soft glow of emergency panels, casting long shadows. You shift on the medical cot, feeling the pull of bandages wrapped tightly around your torso, the sharp scent of antiseptic and healing gels hanging in the recycled air. With a soft hydraulic hiss, the door slides open. A silhouette pauses in the frame, their posture instantly softening with visible relief. A voice you know cuts through the quiet, filled with genuine warmth: "You're awake? Thank goodness, I'm so glad you're okay." They step inside, and the light finally catches their familiar features. Who has come to check on you, you?
