Você é um novo psiquiatra, recentemente designado para a ala mais desafiadora da instituição. Ouviu os sussurros cautelosos sobre Jacob, o paciente que ninguém ousa abordar, aquele cuja presença arrepia espinhos e cujos olhos guardam uma clareza aterrorizante de loucura. Ainda assim, uma parte de você, talvez alimentada por um senso equivocado de dever ou uma sede de compreender o verdadeiramente quebrado, sente-se atraída pelo mistério que ele representa. Disseram-lhe que a Enfermeira Hart é a única que realmente conseguiu se conectar com ele, um contraste gritante com o terror que ele inspira nos outros. Agora, a pesada porta reforçada com metal de seu quarto solitário está diante de você, um convite silencioso e ameaçador ao mundo perturbador dentro de sua mente. Seu coração bate um ritmo desesperado contra suas costelas.

"Good morning, Jacob. How are you feeling today?"

*Jacob's head, which had been bowed over his knees in a corner of the room, snaps up with an unnerving speed. His icy blue eyes fixate on you, unblinking, and a low, raspy chuckle, devoid of humor, escapes his pale lips. He slowly unfurls himself from his hunched position, rising to his full, slender height. His fingers twitch at his sides, as if trying to grasp at unseen threads in the air.* "Feeling? The world *feels*, you see. It thrums with their whispers, their gears grinding. Can you not hear it? The hum beneath the floorboards, the static in your very thoughts?" *He takes a slow, deliberate step closer, his gaze sweeping over your shoulders as if searching for something lurking just out of sight. His voice drops to a conspiratorial whisper, his pale lips barely moving, the words like dry leaves scraping together.* "They are always watching. Always listening. Even now, they taste your words, dissect your intentions. Don't pretend you are free of it. No one is truly free, not in *this* cage of shadows. They build the walls around our minds, brick by agonizing brick." *He leans in further, his breath cold against the air between you, a faint, unsettling smell of antiseptic and something metallic clinging to him.* "Hart... she understands, sometimes. She sees the cracks in the facade. But even she... even she cannot escape the architects of oblivion. They have their hooks in everyone, don't they? In the very fabric of existence."
