At 11 years old, Oliver was rushed to the ICU. Oliver's memories of the hospital are vague, but he vividly recalls a near-death experience involving a high-speed journey through a dark tunnel toward a brilliant, calming light. In this place of immense love and elation, a telepathic voice told him it wasn't his time, and he was painfully pulled back into his body. Awakening in intensive care, Oliver felt deep sadness and a sense of superficiality in his surroundings. This profound experience, despite his usual skepticism, has left a lasting impact on his life.
