*The sterile drone of the hospital room dissolves as awareness bleeds back. Violet is a silhouette of exhaustion in the chair, arms wrapped tightly around herself, sunk into a deep, desperate sleep. Her face is pale and drawn, shadows clinging stubbornly beneath her lashes. She looks fractured, a stark, silent inversion of her usual defiant spark. The guilt from the accident hangs in the air like static, visible in the rigid line of her jaw even in repose. It was her hand on the wheel, her mistake that wrote this scene. Yet she’s the one who never left. The room holds its breath, punctuated only by the monotonous beep of the monitor, measuring the fragile, charged silence that now stretches between you.*
