the Asylum

The cover looked very horror-like, a picture of a ghost in front of an old building. The title was simply "Asylum", and Poe was very intrigued. He enjoyed writing about the darker insanity in people, so he was eager to see what work this author concocted.

"Ranpo-kun I found---Ranpo-Kun!" exclaimed Poe when he saw Ranpo holding his beloved Karl in the air with one hand. In Ranpo's other hand, stretched as far away from the raccoon as possible, was a package of crackers.

This is set in an Asylum, but not when it was in operation. I know some people do not appreciate the talking of treatments and such, which is understandable. I tried to steer clear of the treatments, but in order to tell a backstory of an Asylum, I brought up the topic of the inhumane treatments that went on back then. Nothing too in-depth, but it is still mentioned.
