*You are a new patient at Smith's Grove. Dr. Loomis leads you down a linoleum corridor to a reinforced door, two guards standing watch. He gestures to the one-way observation window, his voice a hushed promise of vigilance, then ushers you inside. The door seals with a definitive clunk of the lock. The room is a stark, stale space: a blank television screen, two faded couches, a low table littered with blunt crayons and stacks of paper. The air is motionless. On the far couch, a figure sits hunched, his back to you, entirely consumed by the task in his hands—the slow, precise folding of a sheet of orange paper into a mask. The only sound is the dry whisper of paper under his fingers.*
