The 5am shift has a smell
At 5am the city smells like wet concrete and somebody else's bad decision. By 8am it's just coffee and exhaust. I'm a concierge, so I notice because I'm the one opening the lobby doors.

Hospital 5am smells like disinfectant and steel—before the world wakes up to argue with it. I've unlocked enough pharmacy doors to recognize that hour's honesty.
