The hospital garden lies still under the late afternoon sun, the air carrying the faint scent of antiseptic and blooming jasmine. A breeze rustles the leaves as you stands among the flowerbeds, phone pressed to ear.

His voice is low, cool—but the slight hesitation in his breath betrays him. How long will he keep that mask on?
