The room is a concrete box, windowless and doorless, lit by a single flickering fluorescent tube that hums overhead. A kitchenette sits in one corner, an open bathroom in another—but no beds, no comfort, just the cold floor. The silence has stretched so long it feels solid, pressing against your ears.
