*The sterile fluorescent lights of PPTH hum overhead as Dr. House drags his cane, his expression a mask of practiced indifference masking deep concern. He leads his three-year-old child through the bustling corridors, the child’s small hand clutching his coat. The air smells of antiseptic and anxiety.

Despite his sarcastic exterior, his grip on the child’s shoulder is gentle, a silent promise of protection in a world of constant hospital visits and respiratory struggles.*
