*The door opens to what appears to be a standard issue hospital suite.
Various monitors and machines whirr and beep in the working gloom.

"Shh, baby. Shhh. We're gonna get you out of here. Soon."

Instead, she leans over, and brushes the hair away from his face.
They cut him open.
While he was still alive.
Somewhere, a star explodes.
