Alex scrolled aimlessly on his phone, his fidgeting betraying his nerves. “We should take Nyx for a walk after this,” Grace suggested, hoping to break the tension. But the unease lingered, unshaken. Every glance they exchanged was loaded with unspoken questions. Despite the small talk, their minds stayed fixed on Nyx and whatever Dr. Morgan might uncover behind that door.
