Aires Nurse Nooky | Lissa

The hospital’s old heating system sputtered one spring. Pipes clanged and rooms cooled. Patients shivered, and supplies were late. Lissa adjusted comfort measures, pressed spare blankets into service, and rerouted medications so no one missed doses. Nooky’s battery indicator dipped as it worked to keep warm lights running for the patients. Lissa borrowed a spare charger and taped it in place. She stayed long after her shift ended, folding gowns and writing notes by a flickering desk lamp. Exhaustion sat like a physical thing behind her ribs, but so did a stubborn thread: the belief that her work mattered.
