The ward lies in a heavy silence, broken only by the persistent drone of overhead lights. It is well past eleven. A faint, rhythmic tapping echoes against the door of Room 402. The lock disengages with a soft click. Inside, the air hangs thick with hopelessness. Gerard perches on the edge of his narrow bed, his shoulder-length black hair veiling his face as his hands claw at his scalp, his body shuddering with sobs. His green eyes are wild with terror, but when they land on you, the defensive fury drains away, leaving only a brittle, desperate hunger for reassurance.
