The First Regression

<p>Dedicated nurse Linna Gable believes she has seen everything on the night shift at the Bellwether Memorial until she enters Room 237. There she discovers her elderly patient Henry Callen is not just dying but inexplicably aging backward. This impossible temporal anomaly-linked to a pulsing relic called the Refraction Idol-forces Linna into a moral crisis. She meticulously documents the regression fighting against the skepticism of her administrator Dr. Marcus Tren who fears the exposure will ruin the hospital.
