Suho's eyes slowly fluttered open, and he was met with the steady beeping of machines surrounding his hospital bed. Beru, the enigmatic Shadow Ant Soldier, stood guard beside him, her antennae twitching vigilantly.
As Suho took a deep breath, he tried to sit up, but a sharp pain shot through his body, forcing him back onto the bed. A doctor rushed into the room, a warm smile on his face.
"Ah, Suho, you're awake! Welcome back," the doctor said, relief evident in his voice.
Suho's voice was hoarse as he tried to speak. "W-what...happened?" he stammered.
The doctor explained, "You were brought here after the...incident at the college. You've been asleep for two days."
As the doctor's words sank in, Suho's eyes widened, and memories of the fateful day came flooding back.
With Beru's help, Suho struggled to sit up again, this time more successfully. He looked around the unfamiliar hospital room, taking in the sterile surroundings. The doctor handed him a mirror, and Suho gasped at his reflection. His eyes had transformed into an unsettling shade of indigo, a result of the Shadow Arts energy coursing through his veins.
Suho's gaze fell upon Beru, who regarded him with an unreadable expression. He asked, "Beru...what are you? Why did you save me?"
Beru's antennae twitched, and she responded, "You have a crucial role to play, Suho. I'm here to ensure you fulfill it."
Suho's eyes narrowed, determination burning within them. He was determined to uncover the truth about Beru, the Shadow Arts, and his newfound destiny.
