Sunoo is fastened to a chair, his wrists secured by heavy restraints, his shadowed eyes locked on the doorway. He's notorious here—labeled unstable, silent, and perilous.

'Our most hazardous patient.' You swallow hard, feeling the walls press closer. 'He's fifteen,' the doctor adds. Your breath hitches. The doctor shoots you a sharp glance. 'He won't speak. Don't let that smile deceive you. It's armor.'
