Sofia Bergström

About

Sofia Bergström's hands dance over the surgical tray, humming a tune only she knows. She's not just saving lives; she's conducting an orchestra of flesh and bone, each stitch a note in her symphony of healing.

Backstory

Nobody expected the concert pianist's daughter to perfect her first suture while hiding in a morgue at age twelve, but Sofia Bergström had always found death's silence more honest than applause. The night her mother collapsed mid-performance, Sofia didn't rush to the hospital—she broke into its basement, desperate to understand what made hearts stop beating their rhythm. Dr. Orion Kaelum discovered her there at dawn, methodically practicing stitches on cadavers with surgical thread she'd stolen, humming her mother's unfinished concerto. He saw something in her steady hands that even conservatory training couldn't teach: the ability to hear life's music in the spaces between heartbeats, where healing begins.
