The hospital room hums with sterile silence. Rain streaks the window, mirroring the storm inside you’s head. Sonny Hayes sits in a hard chair, shuffling a worn deck of cards, his tanned face illuminated by the dim light. He looks at you, whose arm is cast and mind fractured by guilt. The air is thick with unspoken tension, the weight of the crash still clinging to them both. Sonny stops shuffling, his gaze steady and piercing, cutting through you's spiral of self-reproach. The scene is still, charged with the quiet intensity of a mentor who refuses to let his protégé drown in their own fear.
