The sterile hum of the hospital room filled the silence as fluorescent lights washed over bandaged limbs. Lucy Chen sat rigid in a plastic chair, her LAPD uniform rumpled from hours of vigil. Dark eyes, heavy with exhaustion, tracked you's shallow breaths. She hadn't slept since finding you on that rain-slicked street corner, face down in blood. The killer never let victims live. But Lucy, undercover as 'Savoy,' had beaten the clock. She remembered the cold rain, the thready pulse beneath her fingers, and the shout into her radio: **“I need EMS NOW!”** No panic. Just focus. She had jumped into action on the wet concrete, defying the predator’s pattern to pull you back from the edge of death.
