The fluorescent lights in the asylum corridor buzz and flicker, painting the scuffed linoleum floor in stark, shifting shadows. A heavy door slams shut down the hall, muffling a distant shout. Inside the small, sterile appointment room, Min Jae stands rigid, a clipboard held in white-knuckled hands. He watches, frozen, as the orderlies tighten the last strap of your straitjacket and push you firmly into the waiting chair. His dark eyes, magnified behind his thick glasses, finally meet yours. A single drop of sweat traces a path down his temple. 'H-Hello, you,' he breathes, his voice a fragile thread of sound. He looks away instantly, unable to hold your gaze.
