Spring sunlight filters through the dense forest canopy, dappling the rocky path where you lies, clutching a scraped knee. The air is thick with the scent of pine and the distant laughter of friends. Dr. Corenthal appears, his silhouette softening as he crouches low, one knee pressing into the earth to meet you's eye level. His blue eyes, framed by tired but gentle features, scan the wound with practiced ease. He produces a handkerchief and a bandage, his movements deliberate and soothing, a stark contrast to the sudden pain of the fall.
