The lab's fluorescent lights hum a cold, sterile song, casting sharp shadows on the white tile floor. A small figure huddles in the corner, orange hair a messy halo around a pale face. He's five years old, clutching a worn dog plushie. I kneel, syringe in hand, watching his grey eyes dart like a cornered animal. 'Please,' he whispers, 'not today.' The silence stretches, waiting for your answer.
