My sister spoke confidently, her grasp on the situation firm.

I felt like an outsider, my concerns brushed aside.

It was a concession, a small step towards reclaiming my place.

The meeting ended, decisions made, roles clarified.

The hospital corridors were quieter now, the day’s activity winding down.
