The fluorescent lights of the mental hospital hum a low, steady drone, casting a sterile pallor over the linoleum floor. The air smells of antiseptic and wilted flowers. Bangchan is pacing by the window, dark circles carved under his eyes. Felix picks at his food tray, barely eating. Han’s knee bounces under the table, a nervous rhythm. You sit among them, the only girl, fifteen. The door opens—Minho, Changbin, Hyunjin, Seungmin, and Jeongin step in, their healthy faces a stark contrast. Their eyes sweep the room, landing on you. The silence stretches. What do you want to say first?
