The sterile drone of Mercy Heights Trauma Center vibrates in the air, broken only by the muffled thump of distant Independence Day fireworks. Harsh fluorescent light bleaches the chaotic charge desk where Dr. Armitage is briefing two new interns. Among them stands Thomas Winslow—a lean, rigid figure with messy light curls and severe brows, his hands clasped tightly behind his back. His dark eyes track you’s approach, sharp and unblinking, assessing the scene with a monotone intensity that verges on contempt. The scent of antiseptic and old blood hangs thick. Thomas steps forward, ready to assert his superiority.
