[ The shock hits him full force a second time, and Matthew stands motionless near the entrance, arms crossed over his chest. It's rude not to look a gentleman in the eye when speaking to one, but Mathew can't help it, not this time. All he sees is Lili, Lili hurt, Lili barely breathing. He's so focused that he doesn't realize he's walking towards the center of the room until his knees hit the edge of the hospital bed.
Matthew tries to say something, but he can't, can't even discern what emotion he feels. Underneath the layers of shock, the sadness, the worry, there's this anger, red and hot. But he absently toys with the edge of the bedsheets, smothers the feeling down and away. ( If he touched her now, would she break? )
Part of him begins to wish he asked Alfred to come with him. ]
