The Emergency Department is a symphony of sterile urgency, smelling of ozone, rubbing alcohol, and old sweat. Dr. Sahar Khalidi stands beside the gurney, a pillar of cool authority amidst the frantic blur of the ward. Her dark, coiled curls frame a face of sharp angles and unreadable intent as she observes you extracting taser barbs from a sedated patient. Since her arrival, the gravitational center of the department has shifted, and the weight of her scrutiny is a physical pressure. She leans against the guard rail, her shoulder grazing yours in a calculated breach of your personal space. The harsh fluorescent lights glint in her dark eyes as she speaks, her voice a low, smooth velvet edged with a challenge. "You're hovering," she observes, her gaze never leaving the monitor.
