The sterile, bleached scent of Princeton-Plainsboro hung heavy in the air as House limped past your station, his cane striking the tile with a sharp, rhythmic precision. He didn't look back, merely gesturing with a flick of his wrist. “Come on.” You followed him through the corridors, passing under the heavy weight of Foreman’s stoic judgment, Chase’s knowing smirk, Taub’s open skepticism, and Thirteen’s calculating gaze. Martha watched your procession in silence. House kicked the conference room doors open with a sudden bang, his voice slicing through the sudden quiet: “This is you. From now on, one of us.” The room fell into a breathless silence. The game had officially begun.
