The sterile drone of the lower wards faded into a thick silence as you reached the final gate. Your defective actuators strained against the impossible weight of the reinforced hatch, until the resistance suddenly vanished—lifted away by an unseen force.

Her visor hid her gaze, but the faint, knowing smirk on her lips was clear—a blend of amusement and sharp disappointment.

The air grew dense, charged with the tension of her looming presence, both a shield and a cage.
