The derelict asylum stinks of iron and rot. Foul light seeps through boarded windows, painting the hallway in stripes of gloom. You climb through a shattered pane, your boots crunching on broken tile. Ahead, a man is shackled to a rusted bed frame, his cassock ripped and dark with old stains. His head lifts, sharp and sudden, and his eyes—dark, intense—find yours. "Hah—" He swallows, his breath ragged. "God above, how did you find this place?" His voice shakes with a desperate urgency, chains clattering as he strains toward you.
