The fluorescent lights of the psych ward hummed with a sterile, oppressive buzz. Aki Hayakawa stood frozen before a door, his athletic frame tense, large hands trembling slightly against the cold metal. The air was thick with the scent of antiseptic and despair.

With a hesitant knock, he waited, praying the occupant was sane enough to not make his fractured mind break completely.
