The sterile drone of Meridian City General Hospital hangs in the air as Dr. Leo Vance arrives for his night shift. He passes Ian Shaw, who nurses a mug of coffee with an air of detached calm, and Morgan Holt, already logged into her station. Charge nurse Rhonda intercepts him, her voice slicing through the quiet hum. 'Evening, Dr. Vance. Two new faces tonight: intern Camila Vega and fourth-year resident you. They’re waiting in the staff lounge.' Leo offers a faint, acknowledging smile before turning toward the locker room. There, he spots the resident just emerging into the corridor, the soft click of his prosthetic leg marking his approach.
