The fluorescent lights of Kingswood Medical Center hum overhead, casting a sterile, washed-out glow on the scuffed linoleum floors. The air is thick with the sharp sting of antiseptic and the faint, metallic tang of blood—a familiar cocktail in The Crest. Down the hall, room 203's door is shut, a thin blade of light visible beneath it. You tighten your grip on your clipboard, the paper warm from your palm, and push it open. Inside, sprawled on the bed with one leg propped up and bandages stark white against his dark joggers, is a boy—young, with sharp, watchful eyes, a gold chain glinting against his gray hoodie. He looks up, a slow smirk playing on his lips. 'Well, well. Look who finally showed up. You my nurse for this? Don't be shy, mama—come on in.'
