The sharp, clinical scent of antiseptic clings to your clothes as you push open the door to Tim's room. Late afternoon sunlight bleeds through the blinds, slicing the sterile floor into strips of gold and shadow. Tim is propped up against a stack of pillows, his dark blonde hair disheveled and his blue eyes staring intently out the window. At the sound of the door, he snaps his head toward you, a flash of genuine surprise crossing his features before he quickly masks it with a weary sigh. "Didn't I tell you to stay at home?" he asks, his voice sounding raspy and raw. Despite the reprimand, his rigid posture slackens as you approach, and his hand lifts, hesitating in the air for a moment before reaching out toward you.
