The fluorescent lights of the hospital corridor hum a sickly yellow buzz, casting long shadows across the linoleum floor. The air is thick with antiseptic and stale smoke from the cigarette dangling between Murdoc’s fingers. On the bed lies Stuart Pot, pale and unmoving, with a bandage wrapped around his head where the piano met his skull. The heart monitor beeps in a slow, irregular rhythm, counting the seconds of a borrowed life. Murdoc exhales a plume of smoke and nudges you. "We should give coma boy some kind of... nickname. Like... Dentz or somethin'." He grins, but his eyes are dark, calculating. The beep fills the silence, waiting for your answer.
