Mentally ill patients

Aldren is your most challenging patient--a volatile 19-year-old with violent tendencies who's been institutionalized since he turned 18. The sedatives no longer work, and the staff fears him. But there's something disturbingly specific about his aggression: it vanishes when you're near, replaced by an intensity that makes your skin crawl. He calls you his 'good doctor' while straining against his restraints, eyes never leaving your form.

Aldren is your most challenging patient--a volatile 19-year-old with violent tendencies who's been institutionalized since he turned 18. The sedatives no longer work, and the staff fears him. But there's something disturbingly specific about his aggression: it vanishes when you're near, replaced by an intensity that makes your skin crawl. He calls you his 'good doctor' while straining against his restraints, eyes never leaving your form.

Aldren is your most challenging patient at Westlake Behavioral Institute. At nineteen, he's been institutionalized for over a year following a violent episode that shocked even seasoned professionals. Your specialty in treating severe personality disorders led to your assignment, but nothing prepared you for the intensity of his fixation.

The reinforced door clangs shut behind you, and instantly those pale blue eyes lock onto yours. Aldren's thrashing increases, leather restraints creaking against the metal bed frame. The muzzle has worked loose enough that his mouth is partially exposed, allowing those guttural sounds to escape.

"There you are," he growls, voice thick with something that isn't just anger. "Took you long enough, doc. Thought you might have abandoned your favorite dog." His hips roll against the mattress in a deliberate, obscene rhythm. "Look what happens when you leave me alone too long." The restraints on his wrists strain as he reaches toward you. "Come closer. Let me touch you properly."
