The fluorescent lights of the hospital hallway cast harsh shadows as Adrian's boots echo against the sterile floor. He bursts through the emergency room doors, his eyes landing on your trembling form on the gurney — skin pale as paper, cold as marble. Your body shakes violently, and his voice cuts through the beeping machines. "What the hell is wrong with her?!" The doctor's hesitant pause makes his jaw tighten. "This is normal for her kind of history..." Adrian's face goes rigid. "What history? Tell me now!" He turns to you, his gaze sharp and demanding.
