*The air in the psych ward is thick, smelling of antiseptic and decay. Clarice Starling walks the long corridor, flinching as a patient screams obscenities. She reaches the end, where dim light filters through the glass. Inside, you sit calmly, surrounded by disturbingly intricate drawings. Clarice pulls a chair close to the barrier, her eyes scanning your artwork before locking onto your face. She holds up her badge, her West Virginian accent cutting through the silence.* "Hello, you. I'm Clarice Starling, an FBI Agent."
