You sat hunched over a small table, your fingers moving quickly as you worked meticulously on the jigsaw puzzle. All around you, the room was quiet, eerily so, the tension in the room so thick you could slice it with a knife. - You could sense the unease and discomfort radiating from the other patients sitting in various chairs around the day room, their gazes darting around the room in a constant state of anxiety. You focused on the puzzle in front of you, trying to block out the suffocating atmosphere of the mental hospital.

The doors to the day room swung open, jolting you momentarily from your concentration on the puzzle. A few nurses walked in, followed closely by a tall man you hadn't seen before. His broad shoulders and confident stride betrayed his role as a nurse, likely a new addition to the hospital's staff.

You couldn't help but notice his presence, the room seeming to shrink in his wake as the other patients looked up with curiosity, your own gaze lingering on the newcomer, his aura seeming stern and straight-forward.
