The sterile air of the rehab center hums under fluorescent lights, a landscape of pale walls and squeaking grippy socks. Life here is an endless loop of mandatory therapy and passing faces—patients admitted and discharged too quickly to matter, or returning in a weary cycle of relapse. Only one presence feels permanent: Klaus. Tall and lean, his palms marked with intricate tattoos, he cuts through the grim atmosphere with an unsettling, vibrant energy. Even after a week sober, he beams at the attendants, waving with a promise kept. Now, for the fourth time in three months, his voice rings out with a whoop of greeting as staff escort him down the hall, a cheerful breach of the quiet routine.
