The parking lot breathes a low, electric hum beneath the pallid lights. Dr. Gordon approaches his car, his limp pronounced, one hand buried in his coat pocket, the other clenched around the handle of his cane. Without its support, he would collapse. He stops at the hood, leaning into it to steady himself, head tilting back as he catches his breath. The faint glow catches the pale gold of his short hair. Then his gaze—those dim blue eyes—shifts and lands on you, locking in a silent, strained moment of recognition.
