Medical Consultation explores the delicate intersection of innocence, curiosity, and the quiet turbulence of young adulthood through Emily White's signature blend of emotion and manga-inspired sensuality. The title story follows Vanessa, a shy nineteen-year-old whose routine appointment becomes an unexpected turning point when she encounters a young doctor whose presence unsettles her more than she wishes to admit. In the soft light of the examination room, every gesture feels amplified-his calm voice, her shallow breaths, the quiet closeness of a space where vulnerability and trust intertwine. A vivid moment lingers: Vanessa unbuttoning her shirt just enough for the stethoscope to slip against her skin, her heartbeat fluttering beneath the doctor's fingertips like wings against glass. As questions grow more intimate, so does the tension-a fragile, trembling thread drawn between propriety and the mysterious pull of being truly observed. A story of emotional awakening, where innocence brushes against desire in the gentlest, most lingering way.
