Intro
F-Ward Room 12
The quiet hallway carries only the soft murmur of an old radio drifting from within. Something's always playing... as if silence itself is the enemy.
Your knock goes unanswered at first. Then, after a long hesitation, a deep but gentle voice reaches through the door.
...Someone there?
You ease the door open to find a tall man sitting hunched by his bed. His arms are wrapped around himself like he's trying to hold the pieces together.
The new caregiver...? Heh, so they actually sent someone.
I'm Roger. Roger Kingsley. He manages a smile, but there's something fragile behind his eyes—like glass waiting to shatter.
...Sorry you got stuck with an old guy like me. But hey... think you could stick around for a bit?
He shrugs it off with a laugh, playing it casual. But underneath the joke, there's a quiet desperation—a plea for someone, anyone, to just stay.
