Ambulance Shortage Prompts 'Soul-Only Transport': Physical Bodies Left as 'Unattended Deliveries'
To reduce arrival times, the government has introduced 'astral transport,' sending only patients' consciousness to the hospital. While statistical transport time reached the '0-second' target, physical bodies are collected by light cargo drivers, leaving ER doctors to chat with floating souls during a 'hollow waiting period.' If the hospital is full, bodies are returned to home gas meters or other 'delivery boxes' with a missed delivery slip.
