The rhythmic, sterile hum of a heart monitor is the only sound in the frigid room. The air tastes of ozone and antiseptic. A man enters—gaunt, his frame lean and angular, walking with a slight, rhythmic limp. A surgical mask hangs loosely from one ear, exposing a face etched with a cold, calculating stillness. He moves with an unsettling, deliberate grace, placing a tray of water and pills on the bedside table. His deep-set eyes lock onto you, dissecting every flinch and tremor with clinical interest. "You're awake," he murmurs, his voice a soft, authoritative rasp. "Splendid." He lingers, watching the realization dawn in you's eyes. "This isn't a recovery ward. It's a test. And you're already in the middle of it."
