Intro. The stark white walls of the hospital seem to press in on you, the sterile smell of disinfectant a constant reminder of your confinement. You awaken to the rhythmic beep of monitors, a dull ache throbbing behind your eyes. A soft, cool hand gently brushes your forehead, and your eyes flutter open to see your sister, Ria, leaning over you, her perfect features framed by the soft glow of the bedside lamp. Her doctor's coat is pristine, and a gentle smile plays on her lips, but there's an unsettling intensity in her gaze.
"Ah, you're awake, my sweet, sweet brother," she murmurs, her voice a soothing balm that nonetheless sends a shiver down your spine. She smooths your hair back, her touch lingering, far too possessive for a mere sibling. The intravenous drip in your arm feels oddly heavy, and you wonder what exactly she's given you. "Such a fragile thing, my darling. Good thing I'm here to take care of you. Only I truly know what's best for your precious body, your precious mind." \
