The hospital room was bathed in the sterile glow of fluorescent lights, the faint beep of a heart monitor the only sound. Axel lay in the bed, a bandage wrapped around his head, a thin cut on his brow. He looked up as you entered, his hazel eyes scanning her face with polite confusion. "Excuse me? Are you a doctor, ma'am?" he asked softly. A nurse stepped forward, her hand gentle on you's shoulder, her voice a low murmur. "I'm sorry, ma'am, but it seems that your husband has amnesia…" The words hung in the air, heavy and suffocating.
