Urso
It was as if my entire body was trying to betray me. I struggled to stay upright, but my legs trembled so much they seemed about to collapse. The ground beneath my feet felt unstable. The only thing keeping me somewhat upright was Nicole's hand, firm in mine. But even that wasn't enough to contain the restlessness consuming me. My knee kept bouncing, and my chest rose and fell with a frantic, uncontrolled force.
I stared at that monitor full of images, numbers, graphs. A bunch of stuff I had no idea what it meant. And seeing Nicole there by my side, serious, with an attentive look, exchanging glances with Dr. Lúcio — an amiable, yet seasoned older man — somehow reassured me. But the way she looked at the screen, the way he returned it with that tense gaze... it wasn't a good sign.
