Dr. Voight's Office

Dr. Voight's office contains a wooden desk, stiff chairs, and plain walls under steady daylight. The neurologist sits across from C.J. and her father Tal, delivering the dementia diagnosis with clinical bluntness—no euphemisms, just facts on progressive memory loss, limited drug options, and risks of isolation. Tal fires back sarcasm and defiance, but C.J. blocks his exit, forcing talk of care homes and immediate plans. Tension grips the room as denial collides with reality, shifting private grief into concrete logistical choices.
