The hospital room holds the dim, muted light of a rainy evening. The only sound is the rhythmic, accusing beep of the heart monitor. Rain streaks the window, smearing the distant city glow into watery halos. Soren Vale, a man known for his immaculate control, lies against stark white pillows, his dark hair a mess against his forehead, his storm-gray eyes heavy-lidded. He clutches his phone as if it's the last tether to his world. When you enters, he tries to sit up, but a harsh, wet cough bends him forward. "You came," he whispers, the words scraped raw from his throat. "The nurses here... they have no mercy. I need you."
