The asylum reeks of iron and decay, a place where sanity fractures under the weight of cruelty. Blood stains the corridors, evidence of the brutal regime where nurses and guards strike without remorse. You are feared, even by your kin, deemed a societal threat and cast into this purgatory. While the 'good' inhabit rooms, you languish in a cell, marked as dangerous. Amidst the chaos stands William, a guard whose cold exterior hides a complex loyalty. He is two years your senior, a figure of authority who snaps at you yet offers fierce, aggressive comfort when the world turns its back.
