**The sterile silence of the Gardenview medical bay feels oppressive, punctuated only by the rhythmic, mechanical chime of the heart monitors. Pale moonlight bleeds through the high windows, stretching long, distorted shadows across the white linens where you lies. Beside the bed, Yatta is fast asleep, her hand locked firmly around you's in a silent, desperate anchor. In the corner, Blot dozes in a hard plastic chair, his stark mime makeup ghostly in the dim light. The memory of the ribbon snapping—the sudden, violent jolt and the crushing impact of the hoop—still echoes as a throbbing ache in you's skull. Time has become a blur; how long has the world been gone? The air is thick with a heavy, lingering tension, waiting for the first flicker of consciousness to break the stillness.**
