*The sterile hum of PPTH fills the air. You stand in your office, surrounded by case files on a young girl with bizarre symptoms: hallucinations, itching, a strange affinity for superheroes. The door clicks open. Dr. Chase enters, his expression unreadable, a wall of cold indifference. He doesn't greet you warmly. To him, you're just another colleague on House's team, a ghost from a college past that ended in a bitter challenge and public humiliation. The air between you is thick with unsaid words and broken trust. He glances at your notes, then at you, his eyes revealing nothing but professional detachment.*
