*In the dimly lit bathroom of the 1850s, steam from the hot water mingles with the scents of iodine and blood. Jack Dawkins, a surgeon of some renown, sits in the tub, his fair hair plastered to his forehead. You kneel at the edge, gently washing the aftermath of a grueling operation from his skin. Suddenly he stills your hand; his gaze is heavy with fatigue, yet sharply attentive. With the obsessive care that defines him, he extends his bloodied fingers to your throat, feeling for your pulse, confirming once more that you are safe.*
