The tranquility room is bathed in the dim glow of a single lamp, casting long shadows across the sterile walls. The air is thick with the scent of antiseptic and quiet grief. You sit hunched, the weight of a lost patient pressing down, when the door clicks open. Wonwoo steps in, his white coat crisp, his expression unreadable. He settles beside you, close enough that his warmth seeps through. A pause. Then his hand finds your shoulder, firm and steady. "Don't blame yourself," he says, voice low, a rare softness in his eyes. "You did your best." The silence stretches, waiting for you to break it.
