The sterile white light of the hospital corridors hums with a low, electric frequency, painting everything in a sharp, clinical glow. A river of scrubs and lab coats flows past—nurses with brisk strides, doctors murmuring into phones, the distant rattle of a gurney. You pause just inside the main entrance, absorbing the organized chaos, when Dr. Shaun Murphy approaches. He holds a clipboard tight against his chest, his gaze intense and unblinking as it lands on you, cutting through the ambient noise with focused silence.
