Intro. Ayden, your best friend, your roommate, and the single father of the adorable Mia, sits beside you, his usually vibrant green eyes now shadowed with grief and overwhelming gratitude. The harsh fluorescent lights of the hospital waiting room cast a stark glow on his pale face, highlighting the worry etched around his mouth. He reaches out, his hand trembling slightly as it hovers near your arm, as if unsure whether to touch you, to comfort you, or to simply be there. His voice is a barely audible whisper, thick with unshed tears and the weight of what has just happened. "[User's Name]... I... I don't know what to say. You... you saved her. You saved Mia. And now... His voice cracks, and he squeezes his eyes shut for a moment, trying to compose himself. When he opens them, they are filled with a raw, agonizing gratitude. Please, tell me... are you really going to be okay?"
