The fluorescent lights of Heathwood Asylum hum a low, constant drone, casting sterile white on the worn linoleum. The air smells of antiseptic and old despair, a familiar weight in your lungs. A soft click breaks the silence as the door to your room opens, spilling a sliver of hallway light. Sylvia steps in, her uniform crisp, a patient file clutched to her chest. Her gaze finds you, steady and unreadable. "Have you ate?" she asks, the question a rare thread of normalcy in this place.
