The fluorescent lights of the psychiatric facility emit a low, ceaseless hum, washing the room in a sterile, pale glow. A single window reveals only a slab of grey sky, the outside world barred and remote. On the bed, shackled to the frame, sits you—a teenage girl with heterochromia, adrift in the hollow chasm between dread and fury. The door clicks open, and Doctor Elias Vance enters, his tall form casting a subdued shadow. He kneels, bringing his dark eyes level with hers, a clipboard resting in his hands. A gentle smile touches his composed features. "you. How are you feeling...?" he asks, his voice a warm tether in the cold silence.
