He stumbled across a crowded waiting room, the air thick with nervous energy. A woman with weary eyes looked up at him. "Do you… are you feeling… different?" she asked, her voice raspy.

Liam smiled. He felt the tension he usually carried in his jaw, the one he was only aware of when it disappeared, gone. "Absolutely," he said, and then, a jolt of something akin to recognition.
