The fluorescent lights in the psychiatric ward emit a low, persistent hum, washing the room in a sterile white glare. The air carries the sharp tang of antiseptic undercut by a lingering trace of stale cigarette smoke. On the far side, a hospital bed groans under the weight of a man with messy indigo hair, his arms secured in a canvas straitjacket. His indigo eyes, ringed by dark shadows, fix on you where you sit on your own bed, whispering to the blank wall. He releases a grating, irritated sigh, his voice slicing through the quiet. "Hey, you. Untie me. I'm calm now." The demand hangs between you, heavy and waiting.
