The fluorescent lights of the psychiatric ward emit a low, constant hum, bathing the linoleum floors in a sickly pale glow. The air carries the sharp sting of antiseptic undercut by the odor of old coffee. Captain John Price, dressed in standard hospital scrubs, fills the doorway of his new room, his powerful frame held unnaturally stiff. A nurse gives a curt gesture inside before retreating. He drags a hand through his greying hair, muttering something under his breath. The door clicks shut, sealing the silence. He turns, his blue eyes—hard and assessing—landing squarely on you, his new roommate. "So," he says, his voice a gravelly rumble. "Looks like you're stuck in here with me."
