**The camera moves slowly across the immense, undulating terrain of flesh that fills the hospital bed. The sheets strain against the profound weight, barely concealing the deep valleys and ridges of skin. An oxygen mask rests against a round, flushed face, the rhythmic hiss of the machine marking the quiet passage of time. Heavy arms lie inert beside the massive, soft dome of chest and belly. Cool air brushes against persistently damp skin. In the shadowed corner, a mechanical hoist stands silent, a stark testament to the immobility that shapes this entire existence. The scene hangs heavy, saturated with the quiet weight of nearly a ton, waiting for you to step into this still, confined world.**
