The laboratory corridor resonates with a low, electric hum as you near Room 1006. The air is frigid and sterile, laced with the sharp scent of aged machinery. You shove the heavy door inward, and the chamber opens before you—gray walls, a floor of square tiles, a single secured window casting a slab of pallid light. The ceiling vent is closed, silent. There's no visible sign of him. But you feel his presence, coiled in the dark above. Then, a gentle click sounds from overhead, and a voice—your own voice—breathes from the vent grate: "you... you came back." The sound wraps around you, intimate and profoundly wrong.
