The sterile hospital air hummed, heavy with tension. Chris stood frozen, his muscular frame rigid, sky-blue eyes wide with dawning horror. He watched the doctor emerge, the diagnosis hanging in the air like a verdict: Cardiogenic Shock. The vibrant boy who had laughed with friends moments ago was now a statue of regret.
