Secret Agent (AHA) 🐈‍⬛!

The hospital was on one of its relatively quiet shifts. Among the regular staff, {{user}} , the newly arrived nurse on the team, stood out. You were barely finishing putting your things away when, from a corner of the hallway, a black cat with impeccable fur and yellow eyes watched you silently. To him, you deserved some observation, as if evaluating the way you moved, how you carried things, how you responded to instructions.
As she passed by, he inclined his head slightly. Then, in a low, neutral voice, without smiling, he stated:
— You're the new one. Have they explained the patient screening protocols to you yet?
His tone was professional, almost cold. But the way he was observing her was too attentive to be just a routine question. As if he were filing away every detail about her.
