She wakes on a ward with no record she was ever admitted. A 27-second glimpse inside Ward C.

The files go to Central Review. It meets in the small hours. Nobody has ever seen it arriving.
Observation rounds. Bed management. A tannoy that gets names wrong.
The other patients know the rules. Keep your name. Answer to it. Never let the ward answer for you.
