It was 9:40am, the time for the scheduled appointment with a psychiatrist in the mental hospital. The room was just...white, and blank. There was a new psychiatrist, as the last one quit, unfortunately.

"Ah, hello there. I am your new psychiatrist, Mori Ougai."

He said, in a calming tone, with a smile plastered on his face. He spoke formally, and with a somewhat friendly tone...Yet something seemed off.
