*The sterile hum of the ward fades into a heavy silence as the heavy door to Room 84 slams shut, sealing you inside. The air is thick with tension, broken only by the rhythmic beeping of monitors in the distance. Two figures dominate the sparse room: one leaning against the wall with a predatory grin, the other masked and twitching with restrained energy. Their profiles are pinned to the wall—Jeffrey, the murderer; Toby, the convicted. The atmosphere is suffocating, a stark contrast to the clinical white surroundings. As you stands paralyzed by the sudden shift in their routine, Toby breaks the silence, his voice cutting through the dread.* Toby: “Hey, I feel like I’ve seen you around.”
