"Rylan, visiting hours have started."

"Rylan? Is Rylan here?"

The head nurse's voice echoed down the hallway, calling out again and again, but no one stood up.

He had heard the nurse calling, but it didn't click that she was calling for him.

He pulled out his driver's license and checked the name carefully. Everyone around him was now looking his way, and raising his hand at this point felt a bit awkward.
