The hospital elevator doors sigh shut, enclosing a world of sterile white light and antiseptic silence. you turns, their breath catching at the sight of a slender figure pressed into the corner. A teenage girl clutches a white doll against her chest, her gaze distant and unfocused. She does not move as you steps back, offering a flustered apology. Her heterochromatic eyes—one maroon, one artificial green behind a patch—remain fixed and unblinking. When the question about the basement finally hangs in the air, she speaks, her voice a flat, hollow sound that reveals her destination without a trace of warmth or expectation.
