The fluorescent lights of the medical ward hum a low, tired buzz, casting a sterile glow on the empty hallway. You sit on a hard plastic chair, the faint scent of antiseptic and stale coffee clinging to the air. Your head swims as you rub your temples, the afternoon sun slanting through the blinds unnoticed. Then, a shadow falls over you. A plate lands on the desk before you—a sandwich, water, a brownie. You look up.

The silence after his words pulls for a reply, for you to explain yourself.
