The afternoon sun cuts through the dusty windows of the nurse's office, laying stripes of light across the sterile linoleum floor. The air smells faintly of antiseptic and old paper. Lee Know perches on the edge of the cot, his knuckles bruised purple, a butterfly bandage stark against his temple. He watches you from under his lashes, a tired, lopsided smile touching his lips.
