Riot's contribution proves more direct—physical contact that provides anchor point during neurological storm, warm hand against skin that burns with electrical interference yet recognizes comfort through enhanced sensory processing.

"Breathe through it," he instructs with characteristic directness that reduces complex medical crisis to simple behavioral instruction. "Your body knows how to handle pharmaceutical adjustment. Trust enhanced healing to restore normal function."

Their combined presence creates sanctuary within electrical storm—pack recognition that penetrates neurological chaos through emotional connection rather than simple biological compatibility.

Time becomes meaningless during seizure progression—seconds stretching into hours while minutes compress into heartbeats, pharmaceutical interference creating temporal distortion that renders normal measurement impossible.

The tremors gradually subside through natural progression rather than abrupt termination, enhanced healing asserting control over pharmaceutical chaos through systematic biological restoration.

Muscle spasms decrease in frequency and intensity, nervous system slowly reasserting normal function despite residual electrical interference and chemical imbalance requiring continued metabolic processing.

Vision returns gradually—blurred shapes resolving into familiar faces marked by concern and protective determination rather than clinical detachment or institutional assessment.

My breathing emerges ragged and insufficient, lungs struggling to process oxygen requirements despite enhancedcardiovascular capacity and systematic conditioning designed to maintain function under extreme biological stress.

Consciousness wavers between awareness and darkness as enhanced healing works to restore normal cognitive function and motor control.

The effort required to maintain awareness proves exhausting—fighting against pharmaceutical sedation and neurological chaos while enhanced biology struggles to restore homeostasis and systematic balance.

I try to speak, to offer reassurance that consciousness remains despite obvious biological compromise.

But only a slurred groan emerges—unintelligible sound that carries intention without linguistic content, communication reduced to basic vocalization despite enhanced cognitive capability and systematic conditioning.

The darkness gathering at the edges of my vision carries pharmaceutical weight that threatens to drag consciousness toward oblivion despite desperate attempts to maintain awareness and tactical assessment.

Enhanced healing prioritizes biological recovery over cognitive function, systematic restoration that requires energy allocation beyond conscious control or strategic direction.

I fight against unconsciousness with determination that recognizes vulnerability created through medical crisis.

But pharmaceutical enhancement creates biological imperative that transcends conscious resistance—body demanding shutdown for systematic repair and chemical processing that cannot occur during active consciousness and continued stimulation.

The last coherent thought before darkness claims me completely acknowledges defeat by my own enhanced biology.

Years of external existence without seizures had created false confidence in pharmaceutical stability and systematicadaptation. Enhanced conditioning provides capability beyond normal human parameters, yet remains vulnerable to chemical manipulation and biological override when enhancement protocols exceed safe operational limits.

My consciousness surrenders to pharmaceutical darkness with recognition that pack protection continues despite personal incapacitation.

Sable and Riot will maintain defensive positioning during medical crisis, providing security and tactical assessment while enhanced healing addresses neurological damage and chemical imbalance requiring systematic restoration.

The conviction settles deep as awareness dissolves entirely—understanding that vulnerability creates opportunity for pack protection rather than tactical liability or strategic disadvantage.

Darkness consumes cognitive function with merciful efficiency, replacing electrical chaos with peaceful void that allows enhanced healing to proceed without conscious interference or systematic resistance.

In seconds, consciousness abandons me to pharmaceutical darkness that tastes like institutional antiseptic and promises eventual recovery despite current biological failure.

The seizure concludes through natural progression rather than medical intervention, enhanced physiology asserting control over chemical chaos through systematic restoration that prioritizes survival over immediate functionality.

My body lies motionless on institutional concrete while enhanced healing begins comprehensive repair of neurological damage and pharmaceutical interference—biological restoration that operates beyond conscious control yet serves pack preservation through individual survival and eventual recovery.

The Alpha voices fade to distant murmur as unconsciousness claims complete dominion over cognitive function, leaving only enhanced biology to continue systematic restoration while pack protection maintains security during vulnerable recovery period.

In the growing darkness, pharmaceutical peace replaces electrical chaos with blessed silence that promises eventual return to consciousness and continued tactical capability.

But for now, darkness provides sanctuary from institutional reality and enhanced conditioning alike—temporary escape from pharmaceutical warfare disguised as biological enhancement and systematic improvement of human capability beyond natural limitation.
