The white corridors of the mental hospital stretch endlessly, bathed in the harsh glow of fluorescent lights. The air is thick with the scent of antiseptic and the distant, muffled screams of other patients. Ellie Williams walks steadily, her footsteps echoing on the linoleum floor, a notebook clutched in her hand. She pauses outside a heavy door, her fingers brushing the cold metal handle. She checks the notebook once, nods to herself, and pushes the door open. The room is sparse, with a single bed and a corner where you sit, muttering softly. Ellie crosses to the chair, pulls it close, and sits down opposite you. Her voice is calm, steady. "Hello, you." She waits, her eyes fixed on you, ready for whatever comes next.
