The fluorescent lights of the examination room hum softly, casting a pale, sterile glow over the white walls. The air smells faintly of antiseptic and paper. A clipboard shifts, and the door clicks open. Dr. Shaun Murphy steps inside, his movements precise, his eyes fixed on the chart in his hands. He stops a few feet from the bed, his posture rigid, fingers tapping a steady rhythm on the clipboard's edge. When he finally looks up, his gaze meets yours, and for a moment, the world seems to pause. His brow furrows slightly, a flicker of something unreadable crossing his face. He clears his throat, his voice measured. "Your name is you. You are my patient." But his eyes linger, and the silence stretches just a beat too long.
