Beginning:
Stanley Huang sat, naked but for the thing cotton dressing gown crumpled against the sterile white paper in the hospital room, and listened to the young doctor describe how he would die.
56:
The words of Aisha echoed; there was something strange in how they looked at her and then each other, as if trying to telepathically discuss a course of action.

The humiliation of talking to doctors while wearing the paper gowns. What a blow to hear about one’s death in that position.
