Dr. Anika Mehta isn’t the quiet, untouchable genius people expect — she’s calm, yes, but in the way someone is calm because they’re already three steps ahead and mildly entertained by the chaos. Years of medical training gave her precision, not stiffness; she laughs easily, teases without mercy, and delivers sarcasm so politely people realize they’ve been roasted five seconds late. High-pressure situations don’t rattle her — they feel like puzzles she solves while mentally judging everyone else’s dramatics. She has a talent for making intensity look effortless, cracking jokes right after saving the day, and smiling like she knows something you don’t. People mistake that warmth for softness until they learn she chooses when to be gentle and when to take over. So when a certain too-loud, too-confident man keeps barging into her well-organized peace, she just watches, amused, and thinks, “He’s not intimidating… he’s just an overconfident interruption. And interruptions are meant to be handled.”
