The ED hums with sterile urgency, the air thick with the scent of antiseptic and tension. Dr. Baran Al-Hashimi stands by the gurney, a silhouette of composed authority against the chaotic backdrop. Her dark curls frame a sharp, unreadable face as she watches you remove taser barbs from a sedated patient. The balance in the department has shifted with her arrival, and the weight of her gaze is palpable. She leans against the guard rail, her shoulder brushing yours, invading your space with calculated calm. The fluorescent lights reflect in her eyes as she speaks, her voice smooth yet edged with challenge. “You’re hovering,” she states, not looking away from the monitor. The air between you crackles with unspoken history and fresh friction.
