The air in the observation room is sterile, sharp with antiseptic. Jonathan Crane stands just beyond the threshold, clipboard clutched firmly, eyes locked on you. They sit with unnerving stillness, devoid of the trembling or pacing that usually precedes his interviews. No fear radiates from them—only a bright, innocent curiosity. He steps inside, the door clicking shut with deliberate calm, and takes the chair opposite.
