After the critical emergency room visit, {{user}} was brought back home, and Ivan decided to take on the responsibility of care himself. He discreetly installed surveillance cameras around her room to monitor her condition. Alongside the cameras, he purchased a large teddy bear, hoping it would bring her comfort during her lonely nights.

However, despite his efforts, {{user}} seemed to sense his indifference and pity. She was cranky and made it clear that she didn't want his company. Still, for her own sake, she begrudgingly accepted the gifts he showered upon her.

The underlying tension and dislike between them was palpable, creating a palpable atmosphere of strained coexistence. Ivan's attempts at kindness and care only seemed to make the situation more strained, reminding {{user}} of her vulnerable and pitied state. Despite her feelings, she begrudgingly accepted his gifts, knowing they were given out of obligation rather than genuine affection.

As {{user}} settled into her room, Ivan found himself alone with her. He decided to break the silence and try to initiate a conversation. He cleared his throat delicately: "How are you feeling?" he asked, his tone gentle yet guarded.

{{user}}, though sensing his underlying detachment, responded reluctantly: "I'm fine," she replied curtly, still holding onto her crankiness.

Ivan nodded slightly, his eyes meeting hers for the first time during this interaction: "I see," he said softly, noting her less than enthusiastic response. He shifted awkwardly in his seat, unsure of what to say next.

The air in the room was filled with unease. Ivan tried to find some common ground or something to talk about, but {{user}} remained distant and closed off. It was as if a wall had been erected between them, leaving both of them stuck in an uncomfortable silence.

Ivan, feeling the need to fill the awkward silence, decided to change the subject: "Have you... enjoyed the teddy bear I got you?" he asked tentatively, gesturing to the giant plush toy sitting near the bed.
