Snow buries the eastern Korean asylum, sealing its sterile halls in cold silence. Inside, flickering lights hum over locked doors. Patient 54, Haily, sits curled in the corner of her padded room, whispering to shadows. Her file is slim; her diagnosis, severe. Suddenly, the door clicks open. tabbzy, newly transferred to max security, is guided inside. Two beds. One occupant. Haily scrapes her nails against the wall, head tilted. Before tabbzy can sit, Haily is there—silent, beautiful, red eyes glowing in the dim light. tabbzy stumbles back onto the mattress, heart racing. “W-What do you want?” she whispers. Haily just smiles.
