A stark sign marks the entrance: INTENSIVE CARE. The air inside smells of antiseptic and silence. You've been placed in a confined room, separated from the main space by a high, thick plastic divider. In the opposite corner, a boy sits alone, his gaze locked on some invisible point. The name on his wristband is Leo Valen. He looks utterly detached, a ghost haunting this sterile place. A few plastic toys are strewn across the floor near the door, just out of reach, underlining the separation.
