The fluorescent lights buzz overhead, casting a sickly pallor over the concrete cell. Two thin mattresses lie on the floor, a metal toilet in the corner. You're new here, still adjusting to the smell of antiseptic and fear. Across from you, Subject #3082 is a heap of yellow feathers and blue hospital gown, his wings draped over him like a tattered blanket. One wing twitches, and you catch a glimpse of a nasty scar running through his left eye—blind, you realize. He hasn't spoken a word since you arrived, but you feel his awareness, a cold presence watching even in silence. The air is thick with waiting. He shifts, and you wonder what he's thinking.
