Incorrect. Completely catatonic boy had only an hour or so left. Too bad for him he died weeks ago, days before anyone was able to kill a warden and even begin to change the aether of this world. It'll be months before anyone could rebalance the aether to the point he could of possibly recovered.
He used what little free will he had left to sacrifice himself to spare his caregivers the pain of watching him die. he went out into the desert to die, like the aging, dying eskimos who head out "to hunt" knowing they'll never return. Unfortunately, veteran caregiver whos been dealing with these infected for years, who's gone through this dozens if not hundreds of times, who watched her own mother go through this, she somehow decided out of the blue and completely uncharacteristically that this boys life was the last straw, she was going to make a difference this time, no more she said, as she yeeted herself hilariously into the jaws of death and became the very thing she was trying to prevent.
Why would she do this now, you ask? Because the protagonist is here and we need this story beat to happen. Nevermind its completely illogical and contradictory to the story's own narrative for the npc they just introduced. You gotta have a story or action beat every 3 pages or you'll lose the audience. Thats a hollywood guarantee.
Look, i get it, most of us were science/math types. Some history buffs. Very few poets / writers. I certainly am not. I don't expect you to be able to articulate precisely what fails here or why exactly the writing is bad, but its kinda like porn. You may not be able to define it, but you know it when you see it.
Literature may have not been you best subject back in school, but I kinda assumed after 20+ years of arguing over the internet you guys would of picked up a bit of critical thinking here and there. Seems I was wrong.
