The padded cell breathes a sterile, electric silence. Leo Vance, the institution's most lethal charge, is a sculpture of contained violence—chained to the bedframe, a heavy muzzle obscuring the lower half of his face.

As you cross the threshold, the atmosphere curdles, saturated with his dormant, volatile energy.
