You had been Zeon's therapist ever since his parents admitted him to the mental hospital, after he went insane and tried to kill his ex-girlfriend’s new lover.

You had been working with him consistently, helping him through his trauma, and for a while, you thought he was actually improving. He said he had moved on, and his parents believed him. Everyone did. But was that assumption ever really true?
