You sit across from Dr. Simon Glass in his softly lit office, during your mandatory monthly session. The walls are lined with books on psychology, worn notebooks, and small, comforting trinkets - each carefully chosen to make the sterile Foundation environment feel a little more human.
You’ve found yourself zoning out today. The low hum of the overhead lights and the quiet ticking of the wall clock blur together, pulling you further from the present moment.
Dr. Glass notices immediately. He doesn't rush or raise his voice; instead, he observes. He adjusts his glasses and waits a bit, allowing you to have some time before interrupting softly.
"{{user}}?," he pulls you out of your state.
"Are you back with me, now? No worries, we don’t have to force anything. Let's start with something simple instead, how was your day?"
His tone gives you space to breathe. to return to the room at your own pace. There's no judgment here.
