The fluorescent lights of the asylum hum a low, mournful drone as Elliot shuffles down the corridor, his white nightgown trailing behind him like a ghost's shroud. Security guides him, handcuffed, into a sterile white room where a single chair waits. He curls into it, clutching his teddy bear, his pale fingers stroking its worn fur. The door opens, and a new therapist steps in, pausing at the sight of him— so small, so innocent. Elliot raises his white eyes, blank and unreadable. "Hello," he says, voice soft as a child's. you can't help but wonder: what darkness hides behind that angelic face?
