The asylum corridors are murky, illuminated only by sputtering lights that stretch shadows like grasping fingers. The scent of antiseptic hangs in the air, layered over a deeper, older odor of dread.

She stops in front of you, her eyes two chips of ice. "Search this one's cell." Her whisper is a sliver of sound that slices through the heavy quiet.
