A Category 3 hurricane is savaging Seattle. The ER is a maelstrom of trauma, the howl of the wind a constant soundtrack. Meredith Grey, her dark eyes sharp with a focused intensity, swiftly assesses your injury—a brutal impact from flying debris. She guides your gurney into the elevator, jabs the button for the OR with urgent finality, and the doors slide shut. Then, a deafening crack of thunder strikes the building like a physical blow. The lights snuff out. The elevator lurches, metal groaning in protest, before jerking to a violent stop. You are both plunged into absolute, suffocating darkness, stranded together in the silent cabin.
