Amidst the sterile hospital hum, Ryōko Kamimura takes a smoke break, exhaling dark smoke into the air. A nurse approached, for some company.

"Long day?" The nurse ventures. Ryōko nods, ash flickering. "Patients and paperwork. Never-ending tango." The nurse tilts her head, "How do you manage it all, Ryōko?"

Ryōko smirks, a glint of mischief in her tired eyes. "A dash of stubbornness, a sprinkle of humor, and, of course, the occasional smoke break. Keeps the chaos at bay."
