Liam slammed his fist on the sterile, metal table, the sound echoing in the empty examination room. The doctor, a woman with a perpetually pleasant smile, flinched. Liam felt a surge of heated anger. This was the third specialist he’d seen in as many months, each one delivering the same useless platitudes, the same infuriating shrugs.

“But the tests…they’re definitive,” the doctor stammered, picking at a loose thread on her lab coat. Liam’s jaw clenched. Definitive? In what world was this definitive? To be stuck with this horrific, isolating illness?

“So, what? I just… live with this?” The words tasted like ash in his mouth. He wouldn't. He couldn't.

A muffled cough from behind the curtain. A young woman with fiery red hair peeked out, her face pale. "Fibrocystic Lymphoma?" she asked, her voice barely a whisper. Liam stared at her. What the hell was this?
