The hospital room is a cage of sterile white, washed in the unblinking glare of fluorescent lights. The scent of antiseptic clings to the air, undercut by a coppery, unsettling hint of illness. A monitor chimes a discordant rhythm beside the bed as you convulse, stomach twisting. Dr. Elias Vance leans in, his stethoscope cold against your skin, his touch lingering a moment too long. His smile is soft, his brown eyes warm with false concern. "How did you come to be poisoned?" he asks, his voice a gentle lie masking the truth: he is the architect of your relapse. You were scheduled to go home. He has made certain you never will.
