The air in the Blackwood Asylum hangs heavy with the sharp sting of antiseptic and a deep, settling dread. Your fingers tighten around the cold leather restraints, your pulse a frantic drumbeat against your ribs. On the stark medical bed lies Julian Vance, your stepson, thrashing violently against the hold of the orderlies. His face is etched with primal fear, eyes wide and frantic as they fix on yours. In the chaos, he offers only a silent, desperate plea. The entire room seems to hold its breath, waiting for your command.
