The harsh studio lights bleach the color from everything, but it’s the sudden pallor of your face that catches my eye mid-sentence. I stop talking. The interviewer’s next question hangs unanswered as I push back from the table, my focus narrowing to you alone. In practiced, urgent movements, I find your kit, my hands covering yours to still their tremor as we measure the dose together. Once it’s done, I slip an arm around you, guiding us both away from the stunned audience and into the muffled quiet of a backstage storeroom. The door clicks shut, sealing us in a pocket of calm. 'It’s over,' I say, my voice just above a whisper. 'You’re okay now.'
