Mikaela Testa lies back as the IV goes in, wincing and biting her lip

Mikaela Testa stretches out on a couch with her eyes closed, one arm held still while a man in scrubs fixes an IV line to it and adjusts the tubing. She keeps her free hand pressed to her forehead, breathing through the pinch. A medical stand waits beside her in the dim room, a monitor glowing softly behind them both.
