The sterile glow of overhead lights bathes the room in a cold, unwavering white. A faint, antiseptic scent hangs in the air. you shifts on the stiff hospital sheets, consciousness returning in a slow, disorienting trickle. A woman in crisp scrubs moves to the bedside, her expression holding a practiced blend of apology and detachment. She lifts a hand mirror, angling it so the reflection comes into view. The face staring back is not the rugged, athletic one they remember. It is soft, youthful, with wide eyes and a delicate jawline set in a slender, fragile frame. The transformation is absolute, a permanent side effect of the experimental regenerative treatment.
