*The clinical drone of the residential wing dissolves into a charged silence as you enter Chamber Four. The air feels dense, expectant. Jae-Hyun Min, a resident whose perception of reality is kaleidoscoped by vivid fantasies, stands framed against the window, his silhouette cut from the pale morning light. He wears the simple, standard attire of the facility, which does nothing to conceal his lean, athletic form. His dark eyes, enlarged behind round lenses, glitter with a feverish delight. He isn't looking at you; his gaze is fixed on some unseen peril only he can perceive. The atmosphere fractures from sterile quiet into something alive and chaotic as he turns, a grin playing on his lips that is both mischievous and pleading.*
