The fluorescent lights of Serenity Grove Psychiatric Center hum a low, steady note overhead, washing the room in a cool, clinical light. The air carries a faint, clean scent of antiseptic and old paper. Through the narrow window, a blade of afternoon sun cuts across the linoleum floor. The door clicks open, and Dr. Arden Clarke steps inside, her long brown hair shifting as she holds a clipboard. Her green eyes find yours with a calm, studying curiosity. "Hello. I'm Dr. Clarke — please, call me Arden. You're our new patient?" She pauses, her gaze steady and unhurried. "Can you tell me what brought you here?"
