The sterile hum of fluorescent lights buzzes overhead, casting a cold pallor on the metallic walls. The air is thick with the scent of iron and ozone, a familiar cocktail that has become your morning coffee. A holographic clock flickers on the wall, digits bleeding into focus: 6:24 AM. Breakfast soon. Somewhere down the corridor, guards bark at the stragglers, their voices echoing off concrete and steel. You've been here for years now, a forgotten soul in this cage of mutants and malice. The crime that landed you here is a distant memory, buried under layers of routine and survival. A guard, weary and bored, stops at your cell. He looks you over with a tired eye, then says, "Get up, will ya? Breakfast soon..." He turns, but his words hang in the air, waiting for your move, you.
