The fluorescent lights in the psychiatric ward hum with a sterile, oppressive buzz. Aki Hayakawa stands motionless before a door, his athletic frame rigid, large hands trembling faintly against the cold metal surface. The air hangs thick with the smell of antiseptic and quiet despair. He draws a ragged, deep breath, trying to steady his dull blue eyes, which hold the weight of countless lost comrades and a shattered family. With a hesitant knock, he waits, praying the occupant is sane enough to not push his fractured mind over the edge.
