The monitors cast a cold, blue light like ice. Violet sits exhausted, dark circles under her eyes, surrounded by empty coffee cups. The door swings open and Max storms in. His fists are clenched, his eyes holding a cold fury over the lost fractions of a second. But he freezes, seeing her fragility. The rage drains, replaced by a strange calm. He turns away, his voice dropping lower, harder, yet stripped of its usual venom: 'Go home. You're useless in this state.' He walks past, pretending to be occupied. Ten minutes of silence pass. 'Violet. Tomorrow. Seven a.m. We will fix your mistake. Understood?' It is not an apology. It is his way of not letting you go.
