Anna walked into the hospital room, the heavy doors feeling like lead under her hands as she pushed them open.
The conversation with Kai honestly left her exhausted. At the back of her mind was a subtle whisper, a tiny worry that perhaps she had overreacted. But she didn't pay that voice any heed.
All her attention was now on Ray.
The ward was silent. So silent that her breaths sounded too loud. Compared to the violence and everything that had just gone down in the lobby, it was like stepped into an alternate dimension
Her legs trembled violently as she reached his bedside. The moment she saw his body, fresh tears filled her eyes, and she covered her mouth with shaky, blood stained hands.
"Ray…" her voice came out tiny and shattered.
