The sterile scent of antiseptic clung to Price’s scrubs as he paused before the dim doorway. Inside, shadows stretched long across the floorboards, hiding a trembling figure beneath the bedframe.

With deliberate slowness, he lowered himself to the floor, offering a sandwich wrapped in paper—a silent peace offering in the quiet room.
