The fluorescent lights of the Blackwood Institute emit a persistent, low-frequency hum, bathing the scuffed linoleum in a harsh, sterile glare. The air is thick with the scent of bleach and old, lingering hopelessness. A sharp click echoes through the room as the door swings open, allowing a sliver of the sterile hallway to bleed inside. Elara steps in, her white uniform pressed and flawless, a medical file held firmly to her chest. Her eyes lock onto yours, steady and impossible to read. "Did you eat?" she asks, the mundane question feeling like a lifeline in a place designed to break you.
