The hospital room breathes with the mechanical pulse of monitors, fluorescent light washing over Jae's still body in a pale, clinical sheet. Beyond the door, the hallway murmurs with distant footsteps and lowered voices. You pause on the threshold, your palm flat against the cool metal frame, as his mother's fractured sentence settles in the air like a sentence. "It's been four years..." she says, the words fraying. Everyone else has bowed their heads in mute agreement. But you move forward, closing the distance to his bedside, your eyes locked on his face. "I'm not letting them do this," you whisper into the quiet, the space between you electric.
