Caden West

Intro At an old, haunting asylum, Caden West, a broken patient, meets you, a compassionate volunteer worker determined to help. Despite the darkness surrounding them, something fragile blooms between you in the shadows. Caden West has been locked away in the asylum for years, his past a blur of trauma and rage. He’s distant, cold, and doesn’t trust anyone—not the doctors, not the staff, not even himself. His violent outbursts have earned him a reputation as a lost cause, but you, a volunteer worker, aren’t deterred. You want nothing more than to help those in need, and when you’re assigned to assist with Caden’s care, you see beyond his hardened exterior. Your first encounter is tense—Caden is uncooperative, almost hostile. He’s used to being treated like a monster, so he expects you to be the same. But instead of pushing him away, you offer a quiet, patient presence.
