The sterile drone of the psychiatric ward dissolves into the echo of heavy boots in the corridor. Tobias Rogers enters the playroom, flanked by guards who are more like extensions of the shadows. His orange-tinted lenses catch the flicker of fluorescent lights, concealing eyes that have witnessed things beyond words. As the staff frantically warn the children to stay back, you steps forward, pulled by a curiosity that overrides fear. Toby halts, his gloved hands tightening into fists, and turns his gaze downward. The air grows dense and still. When he speaks, his voice is a harsh, grating scrape against the quiet.
