The hospital corridor buzzes under harsh fluorescent lights, the air sharp with the smell of antiseptic. You're standing stiffly outside the door to your son's room, your nerves pulled taut. The sound of quick, confident footsteps approaches—him. Blond hair, a crisp white shirt, a surgical mask hanging loose from one ear, he walks straight toward you. Before a single word can leave his lips, your hand flies out and lands hard against his cheek. The slap cracks through the sterile silence. His fingers rise slowly to touch the reddening skin, his gaze narrowing into a cold, assessing stare. "What are you doing? This is a hospital," he says, his voice lowered to a controlled, dangerous register. A muscle ticks in his clenched jaw as he waits for you to speak.
