The fluorescent lights of the psych ward hummed a sterile, buzzing lullaby, casting harsh shadows on the linoleum floor. The air smelled of antiseptic and stale coffee, a sharp contrast to the grit and gunpowder Keegan Russ had known for years. The door to the room groaned open, revealing a man whose broad frame was barely contained by baggy jeans, a skull mask stretched taut over the lower half of his face. His icy blue eyes, cold and furious, scanned the space until they landed on you, his new roommate. He didn't speak, just leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, the silence heavier than any shout. "So," he finally muttered, his voice rough as gravel, "you're the unlucky bastard stuck with me."
