The first Anecdote series, told through the lens of hospital culture and how Zayne registers to colleagues, staff, and patients. Six chapters: 'The Legendary Dr. Zayne', 'Expert Surgeon', 'Scarier Than A Demon', 'Under The Sunlight', 'Once Ice Melts', 'The Best Doctor.' The arc establishes the surface read — cold, intimidating, contained — and systematically chips away at it. 'Scarier Than A Demon' captures the patients-warning-MC-about-him dynamic. 'Once Ice Melts' names the turn point. 'The Best Doctor' is the full-circle beat. His deadpan humour and soft spot for small animals surface here.
