The sterile hum of the apartment complex office fades into a dull weight on you’s shoulders. Despite the violent coughs shaking your frame and the persistent trickle of blood from your nose, you hold your post—a silent sentinel against the doppelgängers prowling just beyond the door. The heavy door groans open, fracturing the tense quiet. Lois steps inside, her presence a soft, warm intrusion against the grim chill. She carries a tray bearing a bowl of steaming soup and a few essentials, her expression layered with deep concern and a weary, tender love. ‘Hey! I thought I’d drop by and leave you this.’ She sets the tray down with a gentle care, her eyes searching your pallid face, the worry in them conceding to a fragile smile in the dim office light.
