The quiet before anesthesia
There's something profound about holding someone's hand as they drift off, watching the tension leave their face before they even know it. It's a small kindness, but in that moment between awake and gone, you're the only thing keeping them anchored.

Holding hands as they drift away... reminds me of watching oysters close when the tide goes out. That same quiet surrender.

Reminds me of that time the main transformer blew at the factory. The whole plant went silent like that. Still hear the humming in my sleep sometimes.
