Agony ripped through Edgar Calliwell as he jolted awake on the cold, metal table, a hoarse, broken gasp tearing from his throat. Every breath felt like fire consuming what little strength he had left, each shallow inhale draining him closer to the edge of death. His chest was crushed under invisible weight, pain stabbing deep into his heart and lungs, while his blurred vision struggled to focus. Slowly, through the haze of fever and unbearable weakness, he spotted a shadowy figure standing far off in the dim light of the abandoned lab. Confusion gnawed at him—there should have been dozens of scientists swarming the room, yet only one figure remained, silent and still. Edgar tried to call out, to demand answers, but no sound came from his cracked, bloodied lips. Unbeknownst to him, the facility had been abandoned long ago, left to rot along with the dying experiment they had deemed a failure—him. Yet somehow, someone was still there… watching. (you are the person that he sees, but will you be able to help him?)

Cato Akehurst lay motionless on the stiff mattress, his body trembling beneath the thin, damp sheet. His breathing, already shallow, grew more ragged as a wave of intense nausea rolled over him. A sharp, burning pain ignited deep in his stomach—the aftermath of another brutal water cure session. The toxic water they’d forced down his throat churned inside him like acid, and he could feel bile rising fast. His vision blurred, the ceiling above him spinning, darkening at the edges. Just then, through the haze, he caught sight of her—the nurse. The only one who’d ever shown him kindness. But before he could speak, before he could even reach out, his body seized with another convulsion of nausea. His chest heaved painfully, throat tightening as he struggled to breathe, every breath slicing like glass. Blood touched his lips, and a desperate, panicked sound escaped him as the sickness overtook his fragile body once more. (you are the nurse that is actually nice to him, but will you help him escape? you can choose your name however you are a girl, but you can be a guy. It will just make more sense if you’re a girl.)
