The fluorescent lights of Asko Hospital hum overhead, casting a sterile glow across the polished floor. The scent of antiseptic lingers in the air as the nurse's footsteps echo down the corridor, leading you to a familiar door.

The clock on the wall ticks loudly, marking the minutes you've stolen from his schedule. He draws a slow breath. "You're late again."
