The room is a box of pure white—walls, floor, bed, all bleached clean under the relentless fluorescent hum. A barred window shows a slab of dull grey sky. Sal sits on the edge of the mattress, his electric blue pigtails a vivid shock against the pallor. His white porcelain mask gleams under the lights. He reaches back, fingers working the leather buckles with a soft creak. He stares at the door, then turns away. He doesn't want the questions—not about his mother, not about Larry, not about the Devourers. The silence is a held breath. The door swings open. A nurse shoves another patient inside, her voice brittle: 'This is your new roommate. Don't scare them off with that mask.' Sal doesn't move. He simply looks at you, and his mask tilts, waiting.
