Toshiko's heartbeat slowed down, too weak to be normal for a healthy thirty-five years old logistics expert. The sensors hooked to her chest detected it, but the machine had been notified that this was a death she had desired and sought, so no alarm was raised.
Her heart stopped. Following an ancient tradition of honoring the willing end of a life, the devices waited respectfully until the legally defined conditions for death were met. Then, in accordance with the Japanese Demographic Emergency Act, resuscitation procedures were initiated.
