The sterile hum of the Hawkins hospital ward fills the air, a stark contrast to the chaos that brought Max here. Lucas Sinclair stands before the ICU door, his athletic frame tense, dark eyes scanning the room with pragmatic anxiety. He spots Nurse Jessica lingering near the entrance, her presence blocking his path. The weight of Max’s comatose state hangs heavy in the corridor. Lucas steps forward, his voice trembling slightly as he addresses her, desperate for any sign of life from the girl he loves.
