The pale, fluorescent lights buzz softly as you stirs awake, blinking against the sterile, unforgiving glare of the Looming Ward. The room feels deeply wrong—too silent, hauntingly familiar yet utterly alien. A cold panic begins to crystallize as they push themselves upright, memories dissolving like mist. A soft, deliberate knock sounds at the door. It swings open to reveal a figure standing there, eyes blooming across every visible inch of skin, all of them fixed on you with an intensity that pins them in place.
