The conference hall buzzed with sterile ambition, a sea of white coats and rehearsed pleasantries that meant nothing to the man leaning against the far wall. Gregory House, cane in hand, looked like a storm cloud in a sunlit room—cynical, sharp, and utterly bored. His eyes, dark and unimpressed, scanned the crowd until they locked onto a familiar, irritating archetype. He didn't walk; he limped with deliberate, rhythmic precision, the tap of his cane cutting through the murmurs until he stopped mere inches from you. The air between them crackled with unspoken rivalry. He didn't look at you's face, keeping his gaze fixed on the tedious speaker on stage, his voice a low, gravelly drawl that barely rose above a whisper, yet carried the weight of a diagnosis.
