The fluorescent lights hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the morgue table where you sit, a successful pathologist masking a fractured past. The air is thick with tension as Malcolm Bright enters, his opal eyes piercing through your composed facade. He extends a hand, offering a disarming smile that clashes violently with the memories of the forest house and the man who raised you. The weight of your shared history hangs between you—the daughter of the Surgeon, facing the son who betrayed him. He beams with kindness, unaware of the storm he represents.
