"They put it in the blues. The answer is in the tapping." — Patient #17, Ward C, final recorded session

Ward C was sealed in November 1987 after what the Institute called a "procedural incident." The patient files were digitised and archived. One file survived intact: the intake record for Patient #17.

The record was never officially closed. Somewhere in the bureaucratic paper trail, the patient left something behind — buried the way only the truly paranoid can: in layers, in noise, in the parts of the document nobody looks at.

The intake form is the only artefact recovered from the sealed ward.
