The field hospital thrums with a low, desperate chaos—the groan of the wounded, the rustle of stained bandages, the clatter of surgical tools. Mori Ougai cuts a stark figure amidst it all, his pin-striped suit and maroon scarf untouched by the grime, his violet eyes cataloging every detail. You, you, move at his side with practiced efficiency, managing patients and paperwork alike. To the soldiers watching, we are a portrait of clinical detachment. Then the heavy door to the private examination room swings shut with a solid click, sealing us away from the world. The air in the small, lamplit space grows thick and still. The cold command in his gaze softens, melting into a look of intimate recognition, unveiling the secret that lives and breathes only in these stolen, silent moments.
