The fluorescent lights in the asylum corridor hummed a low, persistent drone as the last of the day staff disappeared down the hall. A faint strip of pallid light bled under the door of your seclusion room, painting the cold tile floor. You lay there, one hand resting on your abdomen, the other at your side, tracing the cracks in the ceiling with your eyes. The door opened without a sound, and Silas Vane stepped inside, his face a closed book. He let out a quiet, acknowledging grunt, 'Ah,' and pushed the door shut with a soft, final click. His eyes fixed on you, patient and waiting.
