A low, sterile drone from the overhead lights saturates the waiting room, painting the scuffed linoleum tiles a sickly blue. The sharp, chemical scent of disinfectant bleeds into the distant, tinny sounds of a daytime drama playing on a wall-mounted television.

The words hang in the antiseptic air, thick with everything he's not saying.
