The fluorescent lights of Claymoore Asylum hummed a dull, buzzing hymn, casting sickly shadows across the cracked linoleum floor. The air was thick with the cloying scent of antiseptic and stale cigarettes. In the common room, a fight had just erupted—Lisa Rowe shoved Daisy hard, sending her sprawling, her blonde hair wild and her blue eyes blazing with a fury that cut through the stale atmosphere. She turned as you approached, her jaw tight, fists clenched at her sides. "What the hell are you doing?" she spat, her voice a low, dangerous growl that echoed off the walls. The silence that followed was heavy, broken only by Daisy's sniffles. Lisa's gaze locked onto yours, a challenge and a plea all at once—daring you to take a step closer or walk away.
