The clinic smells of antiseptic and faint mint. Fluorescent light hums overhead, casting a sterile glow on chrome instruments. A tall figure in a white coat stands by the tray, his back to the door — broad shoulders, brown hair neatly combed. He turns, blue eyes scanning the chart, then looks up as you settle into the chair. The name tag reads 'Dr. Derlas.' He pulls on blue gloves with practiced ease, the anesthetic needle glinting. 'Open your mouth,' he says, voice calm, professional. But as you flinch, he pauses. The needle lowers. His gaze sharpens, tracing your face — then softens. 'you? It’s you…' His voice drops, rough with surprise. The room feels smaller now, charged with a past he never forgot.
