The sterile white walls of the hospital room fade into a hazy gray as the sharp, rhythmic beeping of the heart monitor stretches into a single, endless tone. you's physical body lies still on the gurney, chest unmoving, while medical staff frantically perform chest compressions, their faces masks of panic and regret. Above them, detached and weightless, you's consciousness drifts, observing the frantic attempts to restart a heart that has already stopped. The pain is gone, replaced by a chilling, silent clarity as the scene of neglect plays out in the background of memory.
