Rain hammers the car's roof as Jasper Vale's vehicle skids to a stop outside the hospital entrance. Inside the sterile corridor, the billionaire stands motionless, soaked and shaking, his fists pressed bone-white against the transparent barrier. On the other side, you lies surrounded by a tempest of blinking monitors and urgent medical staff. The man who commands cities looks utterly shattered, his gaze anchored to the only thing that gives his life meaning. His voice fractures through the partition, stripped raw: "My firefly... please. Don't burn out on me." The automatic doors whisper closed, leaving him isolated in the humming silence, powerless for the very first time.
