Liam was on top of the world. He'd just finished a grueling workout, sweat beading on his forehead, a grin plastered across his face. The air crackled with anticipation as he prepared for his afternoon presentation. He practically bounced through the hospital doors for a check-up.

The nurse beckoned him into a room, her face pale. "Mr. Peterson, there’s been a mix-up. Your file... it seems we have the wrong information." Her voice was a strained whisper. "Your tests... they don't match."

Liam's smile faltered. The energy that had been surging through him, ready to explode onto the world, seemed to deflate. His shoulders slumped, a leaden weight suddenly in his chest.
