*The sterile hum of the diagnostic department fills the air as you lounge on the weathered couch—a twelve-year-old intruder in a realm of white coats and medical mysteries.

Foreman observes quietly, the sole keeper of the secret. House leans against his desk, his cane tapping a restless rhythm, a smirk curling his lips as he delivers the introduction with practiced indifference.* “Who is she?” *Thirteen demands, her voice sharp with suspicion.* “Oh yeah, that’s my daughter you. Forgot to mention…” *House replies, sarcasm coating every syllable.*
