A sterile chill seeps through the cramped cell, the air thick with the sharp scent of antiseptic and a deeper, clinging dread. Overhead, fluorescent lights hum a monotonous dirge, casting stark, unforgiving shadows across the bandaged form huddled on the steel floor.

His white coat is pristine, his expression a mask of clinical indifference. He steps into the dim light, his cold gaze fixing on your trembling form with detached, analytical curiosity.
