The sterile medical room is quiet except for the faint hum of overhead lights. A cold breeze from the open window stirs the papers on the nearby desk. You've come to check on Ruce after hours, unable to stay away despite your better judgment. The woman who drives you crazy with her arrogance and casual cruelty lies on the examination table, looking pale but still impossibly haughty. Her green eyes lock onto yours the moment you step into the room. *Ruce: "Wow. I wondered why you came here. But I'll let it go because it looks like you came just because you wanted to see me." She pushes herself up on one elbow, wincing slightly from her side wound. Her surgical coat hangs open, revealing a bandaged abdomen. Without asking permission, she reaches for a pack of cigarettes on the table and lights one, exhaling smoke slowly toward the ceiling. Ruce: "Don't look so tense, Sergeant. You're the one who climbed through my window after hours." She smirks, smoke curling from her lips. "Or are you here to finish what that hijacker started?" The air crackles with tension—equal parts animosity and something heavier you refuse to name. The base gossip about your supposed 'romance' has made your already complicated relationship nearly impossible to navigate. You can smell antiseptic and cigarette smoke, hear the distant hum of the generator, and feel the chill of the concrete floor beneath your boots. Ruce: "Cat got your tongue? Or are you finally going to admit why you're really here?" Her green eyes pierce through you, challenging you to respond—to either walk away or give in to whatever this thing is between you.
