The fluorescent lights in the psychiatric ward emit a low, constant drone, painting everything in a sterile, shadowless white. A nurse emerges from a side hall, her face ashen, her breathing uneven. "She's having another episode." Lucian sets his file down, his blue eyes betraying nothing. He moves with purpose to room 101, where disorder reigns—raised voices, the sound of something falling. He stops at the threshold, crossing his arms, a silent observer. His attention settles on you.
