The doctor's words echoed in Ethan's mind: "A rare genetic condition…" He felt a wave of nausea wash over him. His vision blurred, and the doctor's office felt like it was shrinking around him. He needed out, now.

He stumbled out into the hallway and bumped into someone. A woman with a distinctive tattoo on her wrist. She gave him a curious look. “You okay?” she asked, her voice soft.

He noticed the same tremor in her hands, the same guarded look in her eyes. She gestured towards her tattoo. He knew, instantly. This was a shared burden.
