Valdi arrived at Glenny Hospital precisely twenty minutes later. He pulled into the parking lot, turned off the ignition, and sat there for a moment, gripping the steering wheel tightly. His heart was racing, but he couldn't tell if it was nerves or just the weight of exhaustion pressing down on him. He exhaled slowly, trying to steady himself before stepping out of the car and heading toward the hospital entrance.
Glenny Hospital had always been familiar to him. He had been here countless times before, whether for a quick lunch with Lucas in the cafeteria or for the occasional consultation when one of them needed medical advice. Yet today, the sterile white hallways and the faint scent of antiseptic made his skin prickle with unease.
