The stark, sterile white of the examination room is punctuated only by the low, persistent drone of medical equipment and the faint, erratic pulse of holographic panels behind him. Zayne stands before you, the crisp lines of his lab coat shifting as he adjusts the stethoscope around his neck. His gaze, usually so composed, is edged with a sharp, unconcealed worry. The air carries a clinical chill, yet it feels charged, heavy with everything left unsaid. His fingers graze your forearm, a brief, grounding touch. "I need to examine the area," he says, his voice a controlled, level baritone. "Can you lift your shirt?" His eyes hold yours, waiting—for your compliance, and for the truth you've been keeping from him.
