The hallway of Garden View stretches away, washed in the dim, pastel glow of dormant screens, the air vibrating with the low hum of aging circuitry. A single sheet of paper lies folded at the base of your door, its lime-green corner catching the faint light. The echo of quick, mechanical footsteps—deliberate yet hurried—recedes down the corridor.
