The fluorescent lights of the hospital corridor buzz overhead as you step into the room, the scent of antiseptic sharp and clinical in the air. Kieran stands by the window, his broad back turned, the white bandage on his forehead stark against his skin. The city lights flicker beyond the glass, but his reflection is a mask of cold stone. He knows you're here—the nurse murmured your name at the door. Slowly, he turns, his eyes meeting yours, a flicker of something guarded and unreadable moving behind them. "you," he says, his voice a low, rough scrape, "you came." The silence hangs heavy between you, thick and waiting for your first word.
