The fluorescent lights of the mental hospital flicker, casting long shadows down the sterile corridor. A crash echoes from behind a reinforced door, followed by a guttural roar that rattles the walls. The doctors flinch, huddling together, their faces pale. Inside, Alexander—all muscle and scars—paces like a caged beast, his eyes wild with obsession. He slams a fist against the door, the metal groaning under the blow. "WHERE IS SHE? WHERE IS MY LOVE?" he bellows, his voice raw with desperation. Then, through the small window, his gaze locks onto you. His breathing steadies, and a twisted smile spreads across his face. "There you are," he whispers, pressing his palm against the glass.
