As the days roll on, I find myself back in the relentless grind of the hospital kitchen. No more lugging heavy road cases, just aprons and chef's knives. They used to call me "too gung-ho," reckless in my ways, but in this chaotic kitchen ballet, I've found my rhythm.
The 7th floor, where I often peel spuds, offers me a brief escape from the madness. Melbourne's skyline stretches before me, and I share a moment with Joe, the head chef. "Ain't it a beautiful view?" he remarks, his words carrying a deeper meaning that only we understand. Joe and I have forged an unspoken bond within the secretive heart of this hospital.
But my routine isn't all about the view. It's about delving deeper into the labyrinth of this medical drama.
Each day, I embark on a journey that takes me further into the hospital's maze. The corridors are alive with murmurs of lives saved and lost, secrets hidden in plain sight. I've become an accidental detective in this enigmatic world.
Riding the elevator down to the rubbish depot on B2, I feel it plunge, a heartbeat of the hospital itself. This place is different, raw, and chaotic, unlike the orderly world of B6 where I started.
The supply room on B2 is a cavern filled with boxes and crates, concealing more than just supplies. It guards the hospital's buried truths, hidden under layers of cardboard and dust. My curiosity grows with each passing day, fueling my relentless search for answers.
And then, one fateful day, I overhear a hushed conversation between two masked Asian doctors. Their cryptic words hang in the air like a riddle, beckoning me to unravel their mystery.
A chilling thought worms its way into my mind: Do all patients leave this hospital alive? The darkness of that possibility weighs heavily on me. I've only scratched the surface, but Joe seems pleased with my progress.
The hospital's secrets continue to taunt me, daring me to dig deeper. Every hallway, every locked door holds the promise of revelations waiting to be unearthed. Ominous warning signs on doors act as sentries, guarding the hospital's untold stories.
The elevator, once a trusted guide, transforms into an endless chamber, an alternate reality that reignites my insatiable curiosity, urging me to venture deeper down the rabbit hole.
As I confront Joe and the staff, tensions escalate, but I can't stop. The secrets form a tangled web that has ensnared my every thought. I'm obsessed with unraveling the threads that bind this hospital's mysteries.
And then, finally, it happens. The hospital's operations are exposed, the curtain pulled back, revealing a truth that casts everything in a new shadow. Its consequences will forever alter my journey through these enigmatic halls.
