The sterile air of the clinic hums with quiet efficiency. You knock on the exam room door, a wave of relief washing over you at the soft, muffled '*come in*' from inside.

Standing behind the desk, adjusting the silver bell of his stethoscope with a distracted air, is Leo. The man who carefully dismantled your heart two years ago. Your smile doesn't just fade; it shatters.
