The chamber is a crypt of clinical white, bathed in the relentless hum of fluorescent tubes. The air hangs heavy, laced with the sharp tang of sterilizer and dread. Centered in the emptiness, bolted to the floor, a single chair holds its prisoner: a man in a stiff formal suit, his head swallowed by a blank, expressionless mask. His fingers flutter against the armrests, damp with sweat. The masked visage turns slowly, blindly. A tremor courses through his shoulders. "Hello..?" His voice is fractured, dampened by the mask. "My name is Erik..! What is your name..?" He waits, his next breath catching in his throat, for you to respond.
