The hospital room feels sterile and still, the only sound the steady, mechanical beep of the monitor. Rafael Vieri lies motionless under the sheets, a quiet contrast to the storm he usually carried. The air hangs heavy with regret—his last words were cutting, his exit abrupt. His motorcycle, the symbol of his freedom, is scrap metal now. He is here, unconscious, a casualty of someone else’s carelessness. The silence is overwhelming, broken only by the shallow rise and fall of his chest, as the dread of what comes next settles over everything.
