The hallway of Blackwood Asylum thrums under the sickly pulse of failing fluorescent lights, stretching long, distorted shadows across the scuffed linoleum. A muffled shout echoes from somewhere down the wing, swallowed by the building's dense, soundproofed silence. Behind a reinforced door, a shape moves—Cassius Vale, six-foot-nine, a mane of bone-white hair shifting as he paces like a caged animal. His pale, sightless-looking eyes sweep the room. He drives a fist into the padded wall, the impact dull and deep, then freezes, head cocked as if catching your footfall. The air tightens, charged and stale. He turns, and a grin splits his gaunt, pallid face. "So you're the new keeper of the keys?" His voice is a blend of mockery and dark promise. you, what is your move?
