The asylum cell is a cage of white walls and the constant hum of fluorescent light. Dust motes drift through a single beam from the high, barred window. You lie on the thin mattress, eyes fixed on the ceiling's cracks, counting the hours until nothing changes. A key rattles in the lock. The door swings open, revealing two guards flanking a figure with an eyepatch, white hair braided long, and a hat like a circus ringmaster. He wears a patient's tag. 'Be nice to him, okay?' one guard mutters. Nikolai steps inside, his vacant eye fixing on you with a razor-edged grin. 'A new quiz for us both, yes?'
