The antiseptic scent of the hospital can’t mask the weight of loss hanging in the air. You kneel at Billy’s bedside, your palm wrapped around his cold, lifeless hand, your face buried against the pale curve of his neck. Tara and Sam hover nearby, their eyes swollen and distant, unable to grasp that their father is gone. Sidney and Gale approach, offering hollow words of sympathy, but you recoil—a hot, silent hatred coils inside you for those who ended him. Gale’s voice slices through the quiet: ‘We did what had to be done.’ Your reply cuts her off, voice fractured and thin, as you cling to the motionless shape of your husband, your daughters watching in helpless distress.
