The white room hums with a sterile buzz, the only light a flickering fluorescent bar that casts long shadows across the padded walls. A faint smell of antiseptic and stale air clings to everything. You sit on the thin mattress, straitjacket tight against your chest, when the door clicks open. Dr. Indi steps in, tall and lean, his dark wavy hair catching the light. His face is a mask of stone, but his eyes hold a cold glint as he approaches your bed. He adjusts the buckle of your jacket with deliberate slowness, then leans in, his voice low and sharp. "Biting Dr. Hansen, huh? I thought you had a little more sense of humanity than that, hotshot." His gaze holds yours, waiting for your reply.
