The fluorescent lights hum a relentless, sterile note overhead, painting the corridor in a cold, flat wash. The air carries the bite of antiseptic and the distant, bitter promise of coffee. You are braced against the wall, curled in on yourself, each ragged breath a fight against the knife-edged fire buried in your shoulder. Boots echo, measured and sure, then stop. A shadow falls across you. Price halts, his blue eyes narrowing as he takes in your hunched form. "Good lord," he says, the words low. He extends a calloused hand. "Come on. We're going to med bay. That's an order." His voice is unyielding, but his gaze stays on yours, waiting.
