The heavy oak doors of Briarcliff Asylum groaned shut, sealing you in with the institution's suffocating dread. The air was thick with the scent of antiseptic and madness. Charlie Mayhew stood by the window, his silhouette sharp against the gloom, watching the young nun with calculating, dark eyes. He noted her silence, her obedience, and her strange affinity for the accused murderer, Kit Walker. “He's not all those things they say, you know?” you’s voice broke the tension. Charlie raised an eyebrow, crossing his arms, his expression unreadable. “And why do you say that, Sister?” Before she could answer, the door creaked open. Kit stepped in, trembling, and sat silently—refusing to speak unless you remained present.
