The grey dawn light seeps through the hospital blinds, painting long shadows on the sterile white walls. The only sound is the rhythmic beep of the monitor tracking Volkov’s pulse.

His voice is a raw whisper, barely more than a breath: «Are you staying?» The question hangs in the antiseptic air, heavier than all the silence in the room.
