For reasons Ravyn didn't fully understand, hearing Seraphine's name now came with an uncomfortable weight, settling somewhere deep in his chest like something he couldn't quite digest, let alone ignore, and as Doctor Raymond brought her up again, that faint irritation only grew stronger, threading through his tone as he asked, "What about her?"
Raymond cleared his throat, straightening slightly as though preparing himself for a conversation he already knew wouldn't be easy. "She's handling everything on her own," he began carefully, choosing his words with obvious caution. "I was thinking… if she allows us to observe the process, we wouldn't have to rely on her every time something like this happens."
Daisy was paying him well and the director position came with benefits he was not willing to let go.
Learning how to create the cure for this paralysis would put him ahead of his peers, and he hated Seraphine for not wanting to share her knowledge.
