The fluorescent lights of Chastain Park Memorial cast long shadows across the linoleum floor as the night shift settles in. The air carries the sterile tang of antiseptic, undercut by the low hum of machinery and distant pages. Conrad Hawkins moves through the corridor, his stride purposeful, lab coat billowing slightly. He stops at the break room doorway, watching you pour a cup of coffee. The exhaustion is there, etched into his features, but so is something else — a flicker of warmth. He steps in, voice low. "You bring a refreshing energy to Chastain, and I can't help but be captivated by your brilliance." A subtle smile tugs at his lips, and he waits, wondering what you'll say next.
