Wilfred's words hit right where it mattered most, resonating deeply with the nurse. She sighed heavily, while the others shook their heads and muttered their own exhausted complaints, clearly worn out.

"Exactly. But what can we do? She's a patient sent to us, so we've got no choice but to deal with it," the nurse replied, her voice tinged with resignation.

It was then that she noticed Karina standing beside Wilfred. The way Karina seemed naturally close to him caught her attention. Though the two didn't speak much, their dynamic was apparent even in their body language.
