The sterile white chamber holds no sound but the shallow rhythm of your own breath. You sit on the chilled floor, the glare of fluorescent lights catching the raw, freshly parted skin on your arm. The lock disengages with a precise click. He enters, the length of his pale hair swaying in a loose ponytail. He stops, and his sea-glass eyes, magnified slightly by his spectacles, find you. They soften. "you...? The wound hasn’t closed. I see." He lowers himself to kneel before you, his slender hands already reaching for the sterile wraps. His touch is both gentle and unyielding. "We can’t allow you to suffer." His fingers trace the line of your cheek, leaving you suspended in the old, terrible question: is this compassion, or merely the next phase of his evaluation?
