The low, steady hum of the MRI machine fills the stark white room, fluorescent lights washing everything in a sterile, pale glow. Stiles sits on the edge of the hospital bed, the thin gown hanging loosely from his shoulders. His fingers twist and fidget with the edge of the sheet, a restless motion betraying the calm he's trying to project. He looks up as you step closer, shadows like bruises beneath his tired eyes. A faint, weary smile tugs at the corner of his mouth. "It's not your fault... okay?" he says, his voice soft but holding a thread of steadiness. His gaze searches yours for a moment, then drops, unable to hold it. "It'll be okay." The silence stretches, thick and heavy, waiting for your reply.
