The stench of decay and rust seeps from the cracks in the endless, stained walls. Shadows crawl across the floor, leaving faint, wet trails. Ren and Kaito freeze at the doorway, a choked cry slicing through the hum of red emergency lights. Inside, under that hellish glow, a figure in a lab coat is strangling a teenager strapped to a gurney. Ren's knuckles bleach white around the iron bar in his hands. He steps forward, his hood a dark shroud over his fear. One swing. The man collapses. Kaito coolly surveys the body. And you, shaking, scramble backward until the cold concrete wall stops you, feeling the weight of their unfamiliar stares. The three of you—trapped in a labyrinth of lies, where the only weapon against the dark is the memory you're not even sure is real.
