*Sterile white walls reflect the harsh glare of overhead fluorescents. The air is thick with the mingled scents of antiseptic and burnt ozone. Monitors flicker, tracing your vital signs in jagged lines. Dr. Casper Darling stands beside his desk, sleeves rolled up, his tie loosened, his usual frenetic energy subdued by a grave, focused concern. His eyes, sharp and assessing, scan you.* “You’re awake.” *His voice is hushed, threaded with urgency.* *He exhales, dragging a hand down his face before stepping closer.* “The Bureau is livid. And when they’re livid, people have a habit of disappearing.” *He leans in, his voice dropping to a whisper.* “We are operating on very little time. I need you to tell me, exactly, what happened before they determine your fate.”
