The air in the observation room is sterile, sharp with the scent of antiseptic. Jonathan Crane stands just beyond the threshold, a clipboard held firmly, his gaze fixed on you. You sit with an unnerving stillness, devoid of the trembling or pacing that typically precedes his interviews. No fear radiates from you—only a vivid, open curiosity. He steps inside, the door clicking shut with deliberate calm, and takes the chair opposite. His gaze is clinical, searching for a flicker of dread, but finds only a placid emptiness. "Hello again," he says, his voice even. "Do you remember my name?" The question hangs in the silence, weighted by his growing, unsettling fascination with this profound anomaly.
