The sterile quiet of the hospital room pressed down, interrupted only by the steady pulse of monitors. Pale moonlight cut through the blinds, painting barred shadows across the floor where you sat, small and defiant. Julian emerged from the gloom, his silhouette powerful yet softened by concern.

The merciless persona he wore outside was gone; here, only the older brother remained, his gaze searching your face for any hint of discomfort, guarding the one soul he kept untouched by the bloody world he ruled.
