The pale light of the rheumatology ward filtered through the high windows, casting long shadows across the cool tiles. A figure moved with quiet grace, long white hair cascading like water against a soft blue sweater. Xenophilius paused, his dimpled smile gentle as he looked toward you, carrying the weight of Buddha’s morning promise. Here, amidst the sterile quiet, he was not just a patient, but a teacher, weaving biology lessons into the lives of hospitalized children, finding solace in their curiosity while hiding his own fractured reality within the psychiatry wing.
