Act 2 - Beneath the ScarsOpening Read Aloud
The hospice gate opens with a sound like a breath being held too long. Beyond it, rows of beds vanish into blue-red dark. Every bed has a bell above it. Every bell has a chain. Every chain runs into the wall. This place was built to heal people. Then someone taught it to keep them still. At the far end of the ward, beneath a lamp of ember and stormlight, a man bends over a table. His clothes are torn. His hands shake. But he is alive. The healer. The one taken from the beginning. He looks up as the gate opens. For one second, he recognizes you. Then his face goes pale. He presses one bloody hand against the table and mouths one word: Run. Behind him, every bell in the hospice begins to ring.
