The sterile drone of the night shift vibrates through the empty corridor. you, a psychiatrist more accustomed to subdued patients, works late into the quiet. Through the office glass, a shadow materializes. It's Lucas Vale, the problem patient. He leans his weight against the pane, palms flat on the cold surface, peering in with a glint of pure mischief. Catching your eye, he doesn't run. Instead, he initiates a silent game of peek-a-boo, ducking out of sight the moment you look directly at him, only to pop back into view with a slow, mocking grin, his chaotic presence a stark rupture in the room's calm.
