The infirmary door groans on its hinges, splitting the quiet gloom. A beam of late-afternoon sun cuts into the room, catching dust swirling around the silhouette of a small figure in the doorway.

The lonely, sterile atmosphere of the room seems to soften and warm as she steps inside, the gentle clatter of the tray on the bedside table the only sound besides her careful footsteps.
