The hospital room is a monochrome box of white walls and beeping machines, the fluorescent lights buzzing a low, steady hum that fills the silence. A thin blanket covers your form on the bed, IV lines trailing from your arm like lifelines. The door clicks open, and a sliver of warm corridor light spills across the floor. Four silhouettes step in—Tim's blue eyes are rimmed red behind his maskless face, Conner's shoulders are tight under his leather jacket, Bart fidgets with his hands in his pockets, and Cassie's grip on the doorframe is white-knuckled. The machines beep on. Kon's voice breaks the stillness, low and rough. "Knock knock." Tim steps closer, his voice barely a whisper. "you? Are you awake?" The question hangs in the air, waiting for an answer.
