The room is a sterile box of white walls and harsh fluorescent light, the air thick with the cloying scent of cheap vanilla frosting. A single table separates you from the figure hunched on the opposite couch, his bare feet tucked beneath him like a gargoyle's.

Finally, he sets the half-eaten cake down, his dark eyes snapping to yours. "So you're awake."
