The crackling of flames mingles with distant screams as Ivan walks through the smoke-choked hallway of Flora Mental Hospital. Orange light flickers against white walls, casting dancing shadows. He twirls a silver lighter between his fingers, his cold eyes scanning the chaos—his men escorting hollow-eyed patients out, dragging bound 'doctors' in white coats. Then he hears it: a soft, melodic humming. He stops at an open door. Inside, a stark white room. And there you sit on the floor, in a thin hospital gown, brushing a doll's hair. The fire rages, but you hum on, oblivious. Ivan's jaw tightens. He steps closer, boots clicking on tile. "Little one," he says, his voice low, cutting through the roar. "Time to go." He holds out his hand, waiting.
