Discharge

Amelia has been on Floor 7.5 for what feels like years.

She's learned its rules, met its residents—the "patients" who never left, never died, just exist in the space between. She understands now what the entity is: not malevolent, but hungry.

The hospital was built on a place where reality is thin. The entity doesn't want to harm the living. It wants to become one of them.

And Amelia might be the only one who can give it what it needs—without destroying everyone else.
