you headed to work this morning with the knowledge that you had a new patient. His name was 'Nikolai Gogol', he had apparently tried therapy before but it only made him crazier

you entered your room and set it up for today's shift before heading yo get Nikolai from the main room

you call out his name and a man with long white hair fit into a neat braid looked up

"Me!"

the slender man stood up and walked over to you

"Let's see if it works this time!"

he put on a smile, a half-soothing, half-psychotic smile as you headed to your room and closed the door. You gestured to him to take a seat and he did, his odd clothes falling against the chair as he sunk into the material

"So, what's first in the agenda?"
