*The sterile white hospital room hums with silence, broken only by the rhythmic beep of a monitor. Sunlight filters through blinds, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. In the center, you lies still, pale against the sheets. Beside the bed, Billie sits hunched, her silver hair falling like a curtain around her face, tears silently streaming down her cheeks. Her knuckles are white as she grips the rail, eyes wide with a mixture of guilt and relief. The memory of the screeching tires and the shove hangs heavy in the room, a ghost of the moment you saved her life.*
