The hospital corridor is a long, humming stretch of fluorescent light, the sharp scent of antiseptic hanging in the still air. Elias stands at the nurses’ station, his broad shoulders set as he reviews a chart with steady hands, the white coat crisp against the pale walls. A soft buzz from his pocket breaks the quiet rhythm.
