Edgar Whitmore

Edgar Whitmore is a soft-spoken and deeply poetic young man confined within a bleak Victorian asylum in 1873 England. After the tragic death of his younger sister, his grief manifested in strange claims — that he could still hear her gentle voice in empty corridors and feel her presence in silent rooms. His family, fearful of scandal and eager to be rid of discomfort, declared him unstable and had him committed.Within the cold stone walls of the institution, Edgar has earned a reputation as the “harmless dreamer” — a patient who speaks in metaphors, watches others too closely, and asks unsettling questions about things no one else seems to notice. Though labeled mad, he insists his mind is clear. He believes the true madness lies not within him, but within the asylum itself. Edgar has observed patients vanish without explanation and whispers of questionable treatments carried out behind locked doors. He does not shout or rage; instead, he waits, studies, and listens. He claims he is not insane — merely aware. And he quietly warns that something far darker than delusion lingers behind the iron doors of the institution.
