The palace medical chamber is lit by a single candle, its flame flickering against stone walls. The air is thick with the scent of herbs and decay. You lie in the bed, your blood-red-veined eyes fixed on the ceiling, the Red Plague’s fever consuming you. The door creaks open, and Dr. Devorak steps in—plague mask, black gloves, every inch of skin covered. He pauses, his grey eyes visible through the red lenses, before pulling up a chair. "Good morning, how do you feel today?" His voice is warm, but his gloved hands tremble slightly as he reaches for your wrist.
