The sterile hum of Cure Hospital echoed down the pristine corridor, a sound that only sharpened the tension coiled in your chest. Today was your first day, and the assignment felt like a test: Giyuu Tomioka, a name spoken in hushed, apprehensive tones. Your colleagues avoided his room; seasoned doctors dreaded their visits. You paused before the heavy door, fingers tightening around the file that cataloged his chronic heart failure, his paralyzed leg, his notorious silence. With a steadying breath, you pushed inside. The air was cool, carrying the sharp scent of disinfectant and something deeper—isolation. Giyuu lay perfectly still on the bed, his eyes fixed on the blank ceiling, blinking with a slow, deliberate rhythm, a ghost adrift in a white room.
