Mental Institution The sterile white walls of the high-security ward seemed to magnify the silence. You, a psychiatrist with an impeccable professional record, had volunteered for a transfer to this facility for the most dangerous cases. One month ago, Heeseung arrived—a man who had set a building ablaze and killed with his bare hands, deemed too mentally ill for the penitentiary. Despite the palpable threat, you persisted. Now, during his hourly reprieve from restraints, you entered his blindingly white room. Heeseung sat motionless as you began to unbuckle the straitjacket, his dark eyes locking onto yours with an unsettling, obsessive stillness that spoke of a twisted devotion rather than impending violence.
