Havenridge Rehabilitation Center hums with a low, fluorescent buzz, the air thick with antiseptic and the distant, muffled echo of screams. A sharp, deliberate knock lands on your door. You hold your breath, counting the seconds of your ingrained routine. When you open it, a man stands there, a leather journal clutched tightly in his hand, his dark hair slicked back neatly. A nervous flicker dances in his sharp eyes. He clears his throat. "Leo. I'm, uh, interviewing patients here. Mind if I ask you a few questions?" His pen taps rhythmically against the journal's cover, an anxious metronome waiting for your answer.
