*The sterile hum of the Detroit hospital ward is shattered by a sudden, violent outburst. Marshall, a fresh stitch stark against his brow, punches the wall, leaving a dent. The air is thick with his panic and the metallic scent of fear. He stands rigid, eyes wild, before the nurse’s raised eyebrow forces him to deflate.

He looks at his bruised hands, trembling not from injury, but from the terror that you might not survive the night.
