It had been almost a week since Edwards had regained consciousness. The hospital room, stark and sterile, had become a temporary home for him. The antiseptic smell was something he had grown accustomed to, the beeping of machines a constant reminder of his fragile state. His days were filled with a blur of medical treatments and therapy sessions aimed at restoring his body and mind.
The doctors had informed his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Quinn, that Edwards had sustained a concussion, a traumatic brain injury (TBI) resulting from the violent impact of the collision. Alongside the physical trauma, he was also battling retrograde amnesia, a condition that had wiped away significant portions of his memory. He could not remember anything about the accident, nor much of his life before it.
