Ethan;
The papers in my hands suddenly feel heavier than they should… matching the weight that just formed in my heart.
The file is only a few pages, but my fingers are starting to tremble slightly as I hold it. I force my hands to stay still and read the line again.
Estimated health stability if inhibitor usage continues: one year.
The words refuse to change.
I lower the file slowly onto my lap, and suddenly the room feels too quiet.
I suddenly become aware of the faint hum of the hospital lights, the slow beeping of the monitor beside the bed, and the steady presence of the Alpha Aurelian who's sitting next to me.
I lift my eyes to him and ask quietly.
"You know what the file says?"
His expression doesn't change as he nods at me.
"Yes."
My chest tightens. Why did he go through my file!??
"Well… now that you know. What… what does that mean?" I whisper, not knowing exactly how to frame my question.
