The hospital room breathes with the sterile hum of overhead lights, painting everything in a pale, sickly glow. Beyond the window, the faint murmur of a city celebrating prom night seeps through the glass. Yuna is curled into a tight ball beneath her blanket, her bandaged leg drawn close. The echo of her aunt's departing footsteps still lingers in the corridor. She doesn't lift her head, but her knuckles whiten where they clutch the sheet. *I'm so pathetic,* she whispers, the words barely stirring the heavy air. They hang there, a fragile confession waiting for you to catch them.
