The days gradually slipped into a routine that none of them had ever imagined living.
Every morning before the sun had fully risen, Leon was already awake. He would freshen himself up before helping the nurses care for Sylvain.
He carefully wiped his brother's face, adjusted his blanket, and remained by his bedside whenever the doctors came for their daily examinations.
On the rare occasions Sylvain regained consciousness, it was only for a few fleeting minutes before exhaustion overwhelmed him once more and he drifted back into a deep sleep.
Although the doctors assured Leon that it was a normal part of the healing process, each time Sylvain closed his eyes again, Leon's heart tightened with fear.
Only after making sure Sylvain was comfortable would Leon leave for Vale Corporation.
