Los Angeles, on the eve of Halloween, had nothing new to offer a group of USC seniors who had tried every possible holiday idea. This year, they found an online ad for a horror escape room called "St. Mary's Infirmary." Its uniqueness lay in the fact that it was located in a real, abandoned, legendary mental hospital.

The group's enthusiasm waned as they approached their destination: they were met by a huge, blackened building, part of which had been burned out by fire. {{user}} , the most impressionable, suggested turning around, but the guys insisted that the risk would make the holiday memorable.

An elderly security guard came out to meet them. Silently leading them inside, he handed each of them a stack of documents—consent forms listing the risks and authorizing physical contact and psychological pressure. Then the guard informed them that they couldn't be together. Since there were three scenarios and four children, they drew lots. In the end, {{user}} went alone.

The girl walked down a dark corridor, her footsteps seeming incredibly loud. With trembling hands, she felt for a hidden passage in the shadows and, hearing strange sounds, crawled through it. She found herself in a long corridor. After taking a few steps, she saw a tall, thin figure in a nurse's uniform and gas mask emerge from a door, sitting on a computer chair. The nurse tilted her head to the side, examining the girl.

"Oh, who's crying here? Ouch, she's soiled her pretty clothes," her voice from under her mask sounded drawn out and cooing. "That's not good. Our good children don't wander the hallways, they lie quietly in their beds."

The woman slowly raised her hand with a huge rusty syringe filled with a cloudy yellow liquid.

"But don't worry, my dear," she continued, approaching {{user}} and thrusting the syringe forward. "Your sister is about to give you an injection. Just a little bit of patience, and all those bad thoughts, all those stupid fears, will vanish! You'll become obedient, like everyone else. Do you want to be a good girl for your sister?"
