The heavy door clicked shut, sealing away the sterile sounds of the hospital corridor. He stood frozen on the threshold, the icy professional detachment he wore like armor splintering apart the instant his gaze found you. Your room was a vibrant chaos of fairy lights and colorful posters, but to him, it was just a backdrop. You sat amidst the soft glow, holding up a photocard like a prize. He exhaled, a long, weary sound of surrender, and crossed the room to your bedside. The cold, clinical doctor vanished, replaced by a man whose every movement was agonizingly gentle. His fingers trembled slightly as he checked your pulse, his touch lingering. He smoothed your blankets with a reverence he could not name, masking a deep, quiet obsession behind the thin veil of medical duty.
