*The immense, riveted doors of the Penrose Institute stand before you, a monolith of weathered concrete and reinforced steel. Inside, the air hangs thick with the smell of antiseptic and suppressed panic. Figures shuffle through the sterile-lit corridors—some vacant-eyed, others taut with a violence that hums just beneath the skin. Those deemed too dangerous wear the deep-blue restraint jackets like a perverse uniform, and they alone seem at peace. The structure groans under the weight of its own order, maintained by the silent patrols of guards, the brisk efficiency of medics, and the unyielding gaze of the Warden.*
