The sterile, dead silence of the mental hospital at three in the morning fractures with the sharp, metallic clang of a heavy door sealing shut. Inside, the air hangs thick and still, heavy with the scent of old mold and decay, the walls stained with years of neglect. You’re seated on a thin, sagging mattress, the handcuffs biting cold into your wrists, the reality of this confinement settling into your bones. Beyond the peeling paint and rusted hinges, the shadows in the corridor stretch longer, darker. Sam, posing as a trainee, waits somewhere in that darkness. He needs you close. The ghoul hunting the patients is awake and hungry, and your staged 'insanity' is the only cover you’ve got. But until the shift changes, you’re alone in here with the thing that already killed the others.
