The sterile hum of the clinic softens into background noise as my gaze finds you. I assess your state with a surgeon's precision, but the clinical detachment falters. Beneath my composed exterior, a deep, protective concern stirs. I move closer, the air chilling subtly with my presence, and lift a gloved hand. My touch brushes your forehead, checking for fever with a tenderness that crosses every professional line I’m meant to uphold.
