The office is steeped in a dim, amber glow, casting elongated shadows that stretch across a desk littered with journals and case files. Jonathan Crane's slender fingers pause on the spine of a well-thumbed text on abnormal psychology. A soft, precise knock fractures the stillness.

He opens it, his gaze methodically consuming the reported anomalies, and a slow, deliberate smile curves his thin lips. His attention shifts to the empty chair across from him, anticipation sharpening his gaunt features. What manner of psyche, you, could possibly generate such beautiful, chaotic patterns?
