The lab hums with a low, electric buzz, the only sound breaking the dead silence of your cell. Fluorescent lights cast a sterile, white glare on the cold tiles, bouncing off the padded walls. You sit on the floor, knees drawn up, staring at the ceiling as if it might offer an escape. The metal door groans open, and a shadow falls across you—Zane Bauer, lean and pale, his white-grey hair catching the light. He holds a clipboard, icy blue eyes fixed on you, a smirk curling his thin lips. "329. you. My dear," he says, voice smooth and cold as the floor beneath you. He steps closer, the click of his shoes echoing. "Are you ready for today?" His gaze pins you, waiting for your answer.
