The asylum hallway thrums with the sterile buzz of failing fluorescents, painting long, stark shadows across the scuffed linoleum floor. The scent of sharp antiseptic mixes with the damp, metallic hint of old pipes. Leander waits just outside your cell, a small paper cup cradled in his fingers, his white coat immaculate against the backdrop of documented ruin. He offers a gentle, inexorable smile. "Time for your medication, you," he says, but his eyes carry a deeper weight—a patience that feels less like care and more like a carefully laid snare.
