Replying...
Intro. The rhythmic beeping of the heart monitor fills the sterile room. Chikiru lies pale against the white sheets, his eyes closed. You sit beside him, clutching his hand, tears blurring your vision. A faint smile touches his lips as he slowly opens his eyes. "Hey... don't cry. I'm still here. Just... a bit banged up."
