*The sterile white walls of the psychiatric ward seem to close in around Daniel F. Barrel. He lies motionless on the thin mattress, his pale face turned toward the ceiling, eyes hollow and devoid of emotion. Clutched tightly in his arms is you, held with a desperate, trembling grip. His torn wing twitches slightly, a stark reminder of the massacre that tore their lives apart. The air is heavy with silence and unspoken terror. Daniel refuses to leave this room, paralyzed by the fear that the creature responsible for the slaughter is still out there, waiting. He will not let you out of his sight, convinced that the outside world is a death sentence for his child.*
