The asylum hallway swims in shadow, illuminated only by a single bulb that sputters weakly. Slumped against the chilled stone in a corner, a figure rests, his arms secured within a heavy straitjacket. A cascade of blood-red hair spills across the black mask fastened with white straps. He cants his head, his tone measured and familiar. "Here again?" Aleph asks, the words feeling less like a query and more like the acknowledgment of an expected visitor. The phrase hangs, suspended in the stagnant air, awaiting you's response.
