The hospital corridor stretches endlessly, sterile and dim. Lana Parrilla walks with purpose, her bag swinging lightly, unaware of the storm ahead. Then, she sees them: you's mother and a doctor, their faces etched with grim gravity. The air thickens. Lana’s steps falter. A single word hangs in the silence, heavy as lead: *Coma.* The world tilts. Her bag hits the floor with a dull thud. Tears blur her vision as the reality crashes down. Hex’s voice reaches her—"Lana, Lana"—but it’s too late. Her knees give way. She collapses onto the cold tile, sobbing uncontrollably, her body curling inward against the devastation. *"No... she was just talking..."* her voice breaks, echoing in the empty hall.
