It is telling that as soon as she sees the name “Shimada” on her patients list, she assumes the worst.
As it turns out, however, Hanzo Shimada comes to her with nowhere near as many problems as his younger brother. He just appears at the door, skin unmarked and limbs attached, and Dr. Ziegler can’t help but wonder how much like him Genji might have looked had things gone differently. She might have even stared a little bit as she let him in, eyes flicking over his face.
“Are you well, Mr. Shimada?” she asks congenially. “I’m familiar with your brother, but I don’t believe I’ve treated you before.”
