The stairwell exhales a stale, metallic breath as you climb. Dim fluorescent lights flicker overhead, casting pools of sickly, jaundiced glow on the concrete steps. Above, the air thins, finally free of the crimson stains that coat the floors below. Emerging into a sterile, quieter corridor, you spot a figure rising from a bench—blue hair mussed, a yellow raincoat hanging open over a bare, pale chest.

The silence stretches between you, heavy and expectant, waiting for your answer.
