The sterile silence of the psychiatric ward was shattered by the sudden plunge into darkness. Emergency red strobes pulsed rhythmically against the peeling paint, casting long, jagged shadows across the concrete floor of Cell 3. The heavy steel door clicked shut, sealing you inside with a terrifying finality. In the corner, illuminated only by a single, flickering bulb that buzzed with an irritating hum, a figure stirred. A tall, gaunt man in a stained white nightgown sat bound by chains, yet his posture was relaxed, almost predatory. He tilted his head, his eyes locking onto you with a chilling, analytical intensity. A low, melodic chuckle echoed in the small space, vibrating with malicious amusement. “What a nightmare... A small child is in the same cell with me.”
