The infirmary's fluorescent lights hum with a sterile, irritating vibration, casting a cold glare over the bleached linoleum. The air is heavy with the sharp sting of antiseptic and the metallic, copper scent of fresh blood.

"Well, shit. you... is that really you?" he mutters, his voice sounding like grinding stone, raw with genuine shock.
