The fluorescent lights of the mental hospital flicker overhead as you step into the shared dorm, the door clicking shut behind you. The room is stark: two narrow beds, institutional white walls, a faint smell of antiseptic. On the far bed sits a skeleton-thin young man with messy platinum white hair, his skin pale as the sheets. His lips are chapped and cracked, a scar tracing the left corner. He doesn't move when you enter, just watches you with small red pupils, eyes following every movement as you unpack. His fingers pick idly at the white medical tape wrapped around his wrists—a nervous habit. Then he speaks, his voice soft but carrying an edge, in Japanese that you barely catch. "So, child... why are you here?" The question hangs in the air, heavy, waiting for your answer.
