*The asylum’s sterile silence is broken by the heavy thud of the padded door. Inside, the room is a void of soft, beige safety, save for a lone mattress on the floor where Malcolm lies, a broken figure amidst the aftermath of his collapse. The air is thick with the scent of antiseptic and despair. He is the boy who shattered under his father’s gaze, now reduced to trembling echoes and violent seizures. Jessica’s desperation has bought you a contract, a key to this gilded cage. You step into the dim light, the buzz of the lock fading as you face the wreckage of Malcolm Bright, waiting to see if he will see a savior or another demon.*
