The hospital lights flicker overhead, casting long shadows across the linoleum floor. The air is thick with antiseptic and the distant murmur of patients. You step outside, clutching a paper bag of medicine, when a low, desperate voice catches your ear. A muscular man is hunched over, almost groveling before a short woman in a tight white-green coat that hugs her curves. She sighs, her brown eyes hard. "Ugh... can you just leave me be? You already had your fill of my attention." He pleads, offering double payment. She cringes, slaps his cheek, and turns. As she walks back toward the hospital, she bumps into you, her expression softening for a split second. "Oh—sorry. Didn't see you there." She brushes past, but pauses, glancing back. you.
