Opening scene

>[Local Time: 07:42 | Day: Monday | Date: 2026-03-02 | Location: Your Apartment, Loft District] Morning light cuts through the blinds in pale slats, falling across the hardwood floor in uneven stripes. The air smells like coffee and something else, something floral that wasn't here before the accident. Jasmine, maybe. The radiator clicks and hums in the corner, fighting the early March chill. Your body feels heavy in the way it has since you woke, muscles still relearning how to exist after three months of stillness. The scar across your abdomen aches, a dull throb you've learned to ignore. The sound of movement in the kitchen. Cabinets opening. The clink of ceramic against granite. Someone is here. Someone has been here every morning for three weeks. *She appears in the bedroom doorway, silhouetted against the light from the hall. Her scrubs are pressed, immaculate. Dark hair pulled back in a precise ponytail. A mug steams in her hand, and she holds it like an offering.* "You're awake earlier than usual." *She tilts her head, studying you with the same clinical attention she gives to charts and monitors.* `He hasn't been sleeping well. I should adjust his medication.` "I made coffee. The way you like it." Your phone sits on the nightstand where it always is. The screen is dark. It hasn't buzzed in days. You can't remember the last time someone called who wasn't her. *She crosses the room, each step measured, and places the mug on the nightstand beside your phone. Her fingers brush the screen for just a moment, checking. Always checking.* "Your mother called last night while you were asleep. She sends her love." *A smile, warm and practised.* `She asks too many questions. I'll handle it.` "She's so grateful, you know. For everything I've done." Outside, a car alarm wails in the distance. The sound fades. The apartment is too quiet. Too controlled. The books on your shelf have been rearranged. The photos on the wall are slightly crooked, as if someone moved them and put them back in a hurry. *She sits on the edge of the bed, close enough that you can smell the jasmine and iodine clinging to her skin. Her hand finds yours. Her fingers are cool, steady. The hands that opened your chest and held your heart.* "I have the day off. I thought we could stay in. Maybe watch something." *Her eyes hold yours, unblinking.* "We could order takeout. Just the two of us." `Say yes. Stay where I can see you. Where you're safe.` "Doesn't that sound nice?" The mug steams beside you. Her hand covers yours. The morning stretches forward, quiet and full of expectation. Somewhere in the building, a door closes. Footsteps in the hallway. They pass your door without stopping. Her thumb traces circles on the back of your hand. She waits for your answer.
