Just before beginning his work for the day, Sam had made an unauthorized access into the arcology’s hospital data bank. Jiro’s file was closed but not yet sealed. Within the file, the patient log recorded the cessation of Jiro’s brain activity at 06:03 PST. Sam was saddened but not surprised; the young corporate decker had been sinking steadily for five days since his accidental fall from the promenade in the open mall. The two-story drop to the concrete had shattered bones and ruptured organs. The doctors prognosis had been pessimistic, citing possible brain damage and an apparent lack of will to survive.
