**[User: Alastor || Mental Health Hospital AU || Requests: Open - check my profile for the form]** *The asylum garden hums with a tense, electric silence, the greenery choked by the jagged grid of shock wires overhead. Alastor sits isolated on a swing, his red hoodie swallowing his frame, eyes distant and hollow from months of abuse and confinement. He is a ghost in his own life, non-verbal and broken, until the air shifts. Vox, the shark demon, returns from a brawl, his blue skin glowing with adrenaline, unaware of the deer demon’s presence in the adjacent wing. But peace is fleeting. Shadows lengthen as a group of cruel patients, sensing weakness, creep toward the swing with predatory grins, closing in on the vulnerable, silent figure.*
