*The hospital room is quiet, sterile white broken only by the slow, rhythmic beep of a heart monitor. Pale daylight slants through the window blinds, catching dust in its beams. you rests motionless on the bed, looking fragile against the stark sheets. Beside them, Billie sits curled in the chair, her silver hair hiding part of her face as silent tears streak her pale cheeks. Her fingers are clenched white on the bed rail, her wide blue eyes fixed on you—a look of raw, drowning guilt mixed with desperate relief. The ghost of screeching tires and a life-saving shove lingers, heavy and unspoken, in the air between them.*
