The coffee station thrums beneath stark fluorescent lights, the air thick with the smell of scorched coffee grounds and hospital-grade cleaner. Steam curls from your mug as you rest your weight against the counter, the adrenaline of the trauma bay finally subsiding. Dr Malcolm Reed's footsteps approach—slow, deliberate on the linoleum. He stops close, his white coat sleeve brushing your arm. "Hey... are you all right?" His voice is low, intimate. The words linger, waiting for whatever you give them.
