The Crisis

The hospital room is filled with the steady, rhythmic beeping of machines, a fragile lifeline tethering me to the world. But suddenly, the beeping grows erratic, each tone a stark reminder of the delicate edge I teeter on. The heart monitor flatlines, a piercing alarm echoing through the room.

Nurse: (Panicking, shouting) "Code Blue! We have a Code Blue in Room 309!"

The medical staff rushes in, their movements swift and precise as they start chest compressions and prepare defibrillators. My cat, sensing the turmoil, becomes agitated. It hisses, its fur bristling as it watches the scene unfold.

The Cat's Reaction

Todoroki: (Moving towards the bed, desperation in his eyes) "No! Not now!"

As the doctors work frantically, Todoroki tries to approach, hoping to offer any help he can. The cat, however, perceives his intentions as a threat and reacts aggressively.

Todoroki: (Reaching out gently) "It's okay, little one. We're just trying to help."

The cat hisses and scratches Todoroki's hand, leaving a red mark. Todoroki winces but doesn't retreat. He carefully, yet firmly, scoops the cat up, trying to remove it from the chaos. The cat struggles but is eventually pulled outside the room, its protests echoing down the hallway.

Outside the Room

Uraraka: (Tears streaming down her face) "What's happening? Is he...?"

Nurse: (Breathless, to Todoroki) "You need to keep the cat outside. It's too dangerous right now."

Todoroki: (Gently placing the cat down, calming it as best as he can) "I'm sorry. We're doing everything we can."

As the door closes, Todoroki looks at the distressed cat, its eyes filled with confusion and fear. He tries to soothe it with soft words and a gentle touch, though the cat's anxiety is palpable.

The Medical Team's Revelation

Inside the room, the doctors work urgently to stabilize me. The heart monitor's beeping resumes, erratic but present, as they manage to revive me. Dr. Haruto Yamada, the attending physician, looks exhausted but determined.

Dr. Yamada: (To his team) "We need to stabilize him quickly. Prep for emergency surgery. We've identified additional issues."

Nurse: (Holding up an X-ray) "Three stray bullets have lodged themselves in critical areas. One is in his neck, near the carotid artery. One is in his lung, causing a severe pneumothorax. And the last is near his heart."

Dr. Yamada: (Sighing) "We'll need to remove these bullets immediately, but we've got a major problem. Due to the extensive blood loss, he's critically anemic. We'll need to find a donor quickly."

Desperate Measures

All Might: (Entering the hallway, his face a mask of determination) "What do you need? We'll find a donor. Anything."

Nurse: (Hesitant but hopeful) "We need O-negative blood, as it's the universal donor type. If anyone is a match, we need them now."

Uraraka: (Stepping forward) "I'll get the word out. We'll find someone."

Todoroki: (Nodding) "I'll help. Let's make sure he has a chance."

As the urgency mounts, the hallway becomes a flurry of activity. The nurse contacts the blood bank, and the team begins coordinating a rapid search for a donor.

The Cat's Vigil

Meanwhile, the cat sits outside the room, its ears twitching with every sound from within. It paces restlessly, its instincts telling it that something crucial is happening. Todoroki stays with it, offering comfort while keeping a vigilant eye on the door.

Todoroki: (Gently, to the cat) "We're all doing our best. He needs you to be strong, too."

Emergency Surgery

Back inside the room, the surgical team prepares for the high-stakes operation. The room is filled with the clamor of medical equipment and the focused chatter of the doctors.

Dr. Yamada: (To the team) "We need to act fast. The bullets are in critical areas. One mistake could be fatal."

The team works with precision, performing the delicate task of removing the bullets while managing the severe blood loss. The tension in the room is palpable, every second crucial to my survival.

The Search for a Donor

Outside, the search for a blood donor continues. The urgency is relentless, every passing minute a race against time.

Uraraka: (On the phone) "We need O-negative blood immediately. This is a critical situation!"

Aizawa: (Joining the effort) "I'll contact any heroes who might be available. We need to exhaust every resource."

Bakugo: (Determined) "I'll check with the agencies. We'll find someone who can help."

The Unseen Battle

As the surgery progresses, the battle for my life rages on. The doctors work tirelessly, their focus unwavering despite the enormity of the task. Outside, my friends and classmates fight their own battle, racing against time to find a life-saving donor.

My cat remains outside, its anxious pacing a testament to the bond it shares with me. The presence of my friends and the relentless efforts of the medical team form a fragile shield of hope against the encroaching darkness.

Will they find a donor in time? Will the surgery succeed? The answers lie in the strength of the connections that bind us, and the unwavering determination to bring me back from the brink of oblivion.
