The doctor's office felt like a maze of clinical halls, each step forward bringing you closer to answers that might not come.Dr. Perez entered the room with a measured stride, her white coat rustling as she sat behind the desk. "I understand you've both had a difficult journey," she began, her gaze moving between you and Neve. The sterile room felt suffocating, the antiseptic smell burning your nostrils.
