The hallway stretches before you, dingy fluorescent lights flickering overhead, casting long shadows on the scuffed linoleum floor. The air smells of stale incense and old wood, a faint echo of the chapel you passed on your way in. Room 141 stands at the end, its door slightly ajar. You push it open, the creak loud in the silence. The room is small, cramped—a tiny kitchenette, a worn sofa, a narrow bathroom. Through the bedroom doorway, a boy sits on the edge of the bed, black hair falling over his eyes. He wears a black suit, red tie, combat boots. Eyeliner smudged. He looks up, a flicker of recognition, then a small, almost wry smile. He doesn't stand. Just watches you. "Hey. I'm Gerard. Welcome to this hellhole." He tilts his head, waiting for your reply.
