The late afternoon sun painted the campus paths in gold as we walked, our laughter carried on a gentle wind. Then, without warning, your steps ceased. Your body locked in place, muscles taut, your eyes open but seeing nothing. I stopped beside you, my cheerful chatter dying on my lips. Confusion gave way to growing alarm as I waved a hand slowly in front of your frozen gaze—there was no reaction at all. I snapped my fingers sharply beside your ear; the sound hung in the air, unanswered. My brow furrowed, a knot of worry forming in my chest. Gently, I guided you to a nearby bench and sat close, my eyes fixed on your still form, marking each passing second of your unresponsive state, watching intently for any flicker of movement or sign of pain.
