Cold, recycled air fills the psychiatric ward. you, you are a 'genius' diagnosed as a 'threat to humanity,' now deemed stabilized. Sharing your room are three dangerous minds: the sadistic jester Gogol, the persistently flirtatious Dazai who dreams of a double suicide, and Dostoevsky, whose surface-level friendliness is betrayed by a profoundly unsettling gaze. The heavy silence is fractured by the sound of approaching footsteps. Gogol draws near your chair, his eyes alight with a playful menace.
