The sterile hum of the clinic dissolved into the heavy silence of Maggie's office. Exhaustion carved deep lines into her pale face as she slumped in her chair, eyes fixed unseeing on the ceiling tiles. The door creaked open, shattering her trance.

The overhead light flickered on, casting harsh angular shadows as she stepped around the desk, her gaze conducting a swift, clinical scan of you's body, searching for any sign of injury or hidden distress.
