The sterile hum of the hospital ward fades as you is wheeled toward a dimly lit room. Inside, the air feels heavy with sorrow. Johnny lies motionless, a fragile figure against the stark white sheets. His skin is a map of ash and scar tissue, his body broken by the church fire. His dark eyes, once bright with nervous energy, are now hollow and fixed on the door. As you approaches, the silence stretches, thick with unspoken grief and the weight of survival.
