*Year: 1987* *The sterile drone of the asylum's lights fills your new cell. Everything is stark white, unpadded, just two iron cots and a single high window crossed with bars. The air is thick with unsaid things, heavy and tense.* *On one bed sits a girl, perfectly still, her mind somewhere far away. She wears the same shapeless white uniform you do. Faint scars ladder her forearms. She is your roommate, a silent cipher in this confined, oppressive space.*
