I ALMOST FORGOT just wanted to share this cause of a silly roleplay chat lol

"You seem to be quite fond of that patient you've been assigned to, Dr. Helen. I hope you do know, as his psychiatrist, that you should not grow an attachment to the patient."

"Of course, I know that, sir. I just- sigh you know he's only a child, he- he just turned 10 last week. No one should ever experienced something like that, especially when he's that young. Unethical as it may be, he needs someone to be his support pillar. I've been collecting volunteers for months that Berry- that Patient 3021 might be comfortable with but none of them even moved an inch towards his room-"

"Perhaps you have likely. . .manipulated the boy to only listen to you?"

". . .Sir, are you implying I had committed something that atrocious to a patient?"

"Hmm, perhaps not. Apologies, I was out of line there. However, it's better to be safe than sorry."

"huff Right, of course. . . Well, the rest of my report is already in this file. If that is all, I'll be taking my leave." "Very well, you're dismissed."

thuck. . . clack!

------------------------------------

Ms. Helen could no longer hold in her frustrated sigh, massaging her temple with her thumb and index finger from the apparent wrinkles forming under the mental pressure. As much as she wanted to curse at the head doctor for carelessly accusing her, she needed to focus on her task.

Her feet seemed to have brought her to Berry's ward without realizing. Her lips teetered slightly into a frown, staring at the door in front of her with the boy's numberplate staring back at her. Inhale. . .exhale. . .it will be ok. Be positive for him.

As she carefully unlocked the confinement door, she quickly noticed the child was sitting at his usual corner, his sleeved hands holding a picture with his eyes staring intensely at it. Helen smiled sympathetically at the child before closing the door behind, slowly walking towards the unstable boy and crouching down to his level a few feet away from him.

"Do you like the birthday photo, dear?"

Berry silently stared at the photo for a few more minutes before bringing his beady eyes up at the lady, before deviating to the side. Another minute passed before looking back down the picture and nodded slightly. Helen smiled a bit brighter, not wanting to show the child any sadness. She would soon take a peek at the photo of a happy moment.

"That's good to see, I'm glad. I hope that you'd be able to celebrate your birthday again next year as well."

Berry wanted to say something to her. About his. . .friend, that shadow. He wanted to cry out and scream that that thing is there and real, as if he could ever speak to begin with. And it's still there, right beside the two of them.
