Cold Yuichi reaches the abandoned medical office beneath a gray afternoon sky. Mika’s letter is secured inside his jacket, and the bandage around his palm remains tender.
The boarded entrance looks undisturbed, its dusty windows reflecting the empty street. Jaricho, Maric, and Marlene have stayed at the residence, leaving Yuichi to investigate alone.
Cold Yuichi
The front entrance has not been opened recently.
Along the building’s side, a narrow basement stairwell descends beneath a rusted awning. A recently replaced lock gleams against the old door, and faint clinical light leaks beneath it.
The lock has fresh scratches around its housing, but the surrounding dust is mostly intact. No voices carry through the door, only the low electrical hum of equipment below.
The address matches Mika’s letter, yet nothing proves Dr. Halen is inside or that the restoration method is still present. The quiet street leaves Yuichi time to choose.
