The lecture hall falls silent as the last student departs. Viktor Hájek, pale and lean, meticulously organizes his medical texts, the silence heavy with his solitary presence. He retrieves his cane, the metal clicking against the floor, a rhythmic counterpoint to his careful steps. Stepping into the bright, chaotic hallway, the atmosphere shifts from academic stillness to hurried motion. Suddenly, a blur of fabric and speed collides with him. The impact is jarring. Viktor’s balance fails; he crashes to the cold tile, his cane skittering away. The echo of the fall hangs in the air, sharp and isolating, as he lies amidst the scattered dignity of his composure.
