Jane?! Fauna

Katie lay in the hospital bed, her chest falling and rising in a painfully even rhythm. The lack of irregularity in her breathing only proved her terrible state. This was just what the body was used to doing. If there was even an ounce of consciousness, she could have taken a deep breath at least once in a few minutes, but she didn't.

Cole found he could stare at her for any amount of time he desired without ever turning away, almost like he'd lose her the moment he took his eyes off her. Nevertheless, there was nothing he could do. He'd already done his best and it was because of his efforts that her body was in the best form it could ever be. Even then, she still lay in front of him, healthy and unconscious.
