She’d been so careful about her health, meticulously logging everything. Now, the weight of the unknown pressed down on her chest, a suffocating blanket. Her vision swam.

"Are you alright, dear?" The receptionist's voice sounded distant, almost underwater. Clara gripped the letter tighter, unable to meet the woman’s gaze. "Just…a little warm." She managed, her voice barely a whisper.
