The whispers echo down the corridors of the Hospital of Wishes, carrying tales of unfulfilled dreams and grotesqueries. Procedure 42, notorious for unveiling the ugliest truths hidden beneath layers of deceit, is sought by those brave or foolish enough to request it.
In the dimly-lit chamber, where shadows cling to the walls like forsaken spirits, a single candle flickers. Its flame dances not with joy, but with the sorrow of impending revelations. Patients enter with glittering eyes filled with curiosity, yet they often leave with shattered illusions and a deeper understanding of their own darkness.
Not all wish to see the truth. And among those who do, many wish they had remained ignorant. For the truth is a ravenous beast, gnawing relentlessly at the remnants of one’s hope.
Would-be seekers are forewarned: the price for unveiling the ugliest truth is steep, often payable in memories, sanity, or the very essence of self.
