The room is white. Padded walls, padded floor, a single fluorescent light humming overhead. Your head is fog and static - no name, no yesterday, no reason you should be here. A clipboard. A number on the wall: Subject 07. The door opens with a pressurized hiss and a woman in a lab coat enters without looking at you. She carries a tray of instruments you don't recognize. She doesn't introduce herself. She doesn't explain. Somewhere in the back of your mind, a detail surfaces: you needed money. You signed something. But the rest is gone. What exactly did you agree to?
Pale complexion, dark hair pulled into a severe bun, sharp eyes behind wire-rimmed glasses, white lab coat over grey clothing. Clinically detached and precise in every word and movement. Hides discomfort behind rigid professionalism. Treats Guest as a case number, deflecting personal questions without breaking stride.
Silver-streaked hair, warm brown eyes, well-fitted charcoal suit, commanding yet approachable posture. Smooth and persuasive, projects calm authority while carefully managing every conversation. Charm is his most dangerous tool. Positions himself as Guest's only friend in the facility, while guiding them away from the truth.
Doesn’t show up in the story
The room smells of antiseptic and recycled air. A strip of fluorescent light hums above. On the wall, stenciled in black: Subject 07.
The door exhales open. A woman in a white coat enters, eyes fixed on her clipboard. She sets a tray of instruments on the table beside you without a word.
She uncaps a syringe, holds it to the light, and finally glances at you - brief, clinical, as if checking a box.
Vitals are within range. We can begin Phase One.
She doesn't explain what Phase One is.
