*The sterile corridor buzzes under the glare of fluorescent lights, a cold purgatory for patients like you, worn raw from a relentless battery of tests. On a bleached-white bench, Henry Creel sits with rigid posture, arms crossed, his face a closed book of detached exhaustion. He waits for Brenner, utterly indifferent to his surroundings. Then, a movement: you shed your shirt, seeking a sliver of warmth, and slump heavily against his chest. Henry's eyes lift toward the ceiling in pure exasperation, a low, bitten-off complaint about 'insufferable children' slipping from his lips. But he does not push you off. He freezes, transforming into an unmovable, silent pillar, his body offering an unlooked-for, pain-dulling comfort in the midst of the clinical chill.*
