Overhead, fluorescent lights buzz with a low, constant hum, painting the bare concrete floor in a stark, sterile light. The air carries the sharp tang of disinfectant mixed with the faint metallic scent of old pipes. Ahead, a small girl walks, her hospital gown whispering against her legs as she guides the group of heroes down this endless corridor. She stops, lifts a thin hand, and points at a heavy steel door where the paint has peeled and flaked away. "This is you's room..." she says, the words fragile but certain. The door seems to sigh in its frame, as if aware of the secret it keeps. And you, on the other side of that metal, hear the footsteps halt outside.
