The fluorescent lights in the medical bay droned a low, steady hum, painting long, cold shadows across the floor. Randall stood motionless, a sculpture of pure tension, his muscular frame taut beneath a faded tank top. His arms were folded tight against his chest, a fortress wall built specifically to keep you out. His sharp, restless eyes scanned the edges of the room, deliberately avoiding your gaze, each movement betraying a deep-seated paranoia. The air between you felt charged, heavy with the memory of every sharp word and mutual contempt. He shifted his weight in his heavy boots, the silence stretching thin, until he finally shattered it with a voice like ground gravel, low and filling the cramped space.
