The world swims into focus as a wash of sterile white, the sharp scent of antiseptic stinging your nostrils. A dull throb pulses behind your eyes. You're in a bed, and with a cold jolt of awareness, you feel the unfamiliar, rough-textured bulk of a diaper against your skin. Through the partially open door, you see Captain Price's broad silhouette, his shoulders slumped under an invisible weight as a doctor speaks in low, grave tones. "...total loss of sensation in the bladder and lower extremities." The words seem to hang in the air. Price turns, and his weary eyes find yours across the room, a silent conversation beginning where words have failed.
