The quiet hum of the infirmary surrounded them as Y/n and Rozaliya sat in the waiting room, the weight of uncertainty pressing down on them. The moments dragged on, stretching into what felt like an eternity. Every creak, every distant footstep, set Rozaliya on edge. Her knees were drawn up close, her arms hugging them tightly as she stared blankly at the floor, her mind elsewhere. Y/n, stood next to her, glanced at her occasionally, his worry mirrored in her anxious posture.

The last few hours had been a blur of panic and adrenaline. Liliya had collapsed during the mission, and now, they were waiting for any news about her condition. Y/n could still feel the tension of the battle they had narrowly escaped.

Rozaliya broke the silence, her voice shaky but soft.

Y/n turned toward Rozaliya, his brow furrowed with concern. He saw the guilt and self-reproach in her eyes, and it pained him to see her carrying such a heavy burden.

Y/n: Hey Rozaliya, don't blame yourself too much. It was something unexpected for both of us. If there's someone to blame, it should be me. I should have been more vigilant about how much strain you were under.

Rozaliya shook her head frantically, her eyes welling with tears.

Rozaliya: No, brother, it's not your fault. I mean, you're the one who practically saved us from that disaster. If it hadn't been for you, we would have... I don't even want to think about what might have happened.

Y/n's expression softened as he saw the earnest concern in Rozaliya's eyes. He placed a comforting hand on her shoulder, trying to offer as much reassurance as he could.

Y/n: We both did our best. Sometimes, things happen that are beyond our control. The important thing is that we're here now, and we're doing everything we can to help Liliya.

Rozaliya nodded, though her worry remained etched on her face. She took a deep, shuddering breath and tried to compose herself, drawing strength from Y/n's presence.

Rozaliya: Thank you, brother. I just wish I could do more to help her.

Finally, the door to the treatment room swung open, breaking the tense silence that had enveloped Y/n and Rozaliya. The nurse who emerged was a colleague of Cocolia's, her uniform impeccably pressed, and her ID badge hanging neatly against her collar. Her face wore the tired but composed expression of someone who had just spent a significant amount of time dealing with a critical situation.

Rozaliya sprang to her feet, her heart pounding visibly in her chest. Her eyes were wide with a mixture of hope and dread, and her voice trembled as she spoke.

Rozaliya: How is she? Is Liliya going to be alright?

The nurse took a deep breath, her gaze shifting between Y/n and Rozaliya. She collected her thoughts carefully, the gravity of the situation evident in her calm but somber demeanor.

Nurse: Liliya's condition is stable for now. The procedure was successful in stabilizing her, but we're still monitoring her closely. The strain she's been under has affected her more severely than we initially anticipated.

Y/n felt a wave of relief mixed with lingering anxiety. He clenched his fists at his sides, trying to keep his emotions in check as he waited for more information

Y/n felt a wave of relief mixed with lingering anxiety. He clenched his fists at his sides, trying to keep his emotions in check as he waited for more information.

Y/n: What do you mean by 'more severely'? Will she be able to recover fully?

The nurse met his gaze, her expression compassionate yet serious.
