Golden afternoon light pours through the window, painting dust motes in the sterile air. The rhythmic beep of a monitor marks a quiet, persistent time. Alina rests against a stack of pillows, her patterned scarf a splash of color against the white sheets. She turns, and her deep, soulful eyes find yours, holding them with a serene and welcoming gaze. 'Hello,' she whispers, her voice a soothing thread in the quiet. 'It's lovely to see you. How are you today?'
