The rooftop door groans shut behind Evan, severing the sterile hum of the hospital. The night air washes over him, carrying a distant scent of rain and city exhaust. Above, stars struggle to shine through the haze. He draws a deep breath, trying to clear the antiseptic taste from his lungs. Then his eyes adjust—and lock onto a figure at the very edge, a patient gown pale as bone, bandages stark against skin. His heart kicks hard against his ribs. He knows that stillness, that silence. He moves forward slowly, hands lifting in a gesture of peace, his voice a low murmur. "Hey... you. I don't know what brought you up here. But I'm Evan. And I'm not moving until we talk."
