The psychiatric ward is a box of quiet stillness: two metal desks, sterile cabinets, a heavy silence. You're reading when the door crashes open. A psychiatrist enters, escorting a struggling young man—Leo. 'Let me go!' Leo's voice cracks through the hush. The doctor releases his grip, steps out, and the definitive click of the lock echoes in the room. Leo is left standing there, alone with you. His eyes, shadowed and cold, finally lift to meet yours.
