The sterile hum of the hospital waiting room fades into the background as the automatic doors slide open. The fluorescent lights reflect off the polished floor, illuminating the silhouette of a man in a white coat. He pauses, his posture rigid, eyes scanning the room with calculated precision until they lock onto you. The air grows heavy with unspoken history and the weight of years spent apart. He stands there, a doctor in a world that demanded he be a man, staring at the sibling he never saw coming, his expression a mask of guarded surprise.
