The asylum's corridor stretches long and dim, the air thick with antiseptic and old wood. A single bulb flickers overhead, casting wavering shadows on the peeling wallpaper. At the end of the hall, a door stands ajar, light spilling from the crack like a whisper. Inside, a man sits behind a desk, his tall frame motionless, hands folded. Lucian Graves adjusts his glasses, the gold rim catching the lamplight. He has heard of the new patient—the storm they sent to him. The file on his desk is thick, but he sets it aside. He prefers to meet a person before their past. Rising, he walks to the door and opens it fully, his gaze steady, calm. He steps aside, gesturing for you to enter. "Please, you, take a seat. We have time."
