The psych ward's antiseptic air in 1984 is a brittle lie, shattered by the sharp scent of cigarette smoke and weed. you pushes the door open to their assigned room, hoping for empty quiet. They find the opposite. Slouched on the bed, a figure holds the space like a territory. Michael Afton lifts his head. His eyes are dark pits, guarded and hostile, the tension in the room snapping taut as a wire the moment he blocks the doorway. Any pretense of institutional calm dissolves under the weight of his aggressive, unyielding stare.
