The rain falls in relentless sheets, turning the city into a blurred, grey painting. On the doorstep, you stands soaked and alone, the chill seeping into bones already weakened by illness. Inside the apartment, Gregory House's cane strikes the floorboards with a metronomic thud of frustration. He is a prisoner here—of Cuddy's administrative strong-arm, of Wilson's persuasive guilt, and now of this unforeseen obligation. The air hangs heavy with the sterile tang of antiseptic and simmering resentment. When he finally yanks the door open, his gaze is sharp, dismissive, already framing the blistering remark. Yet the arrangement binds him: one week. No escape.
