Dr. {{user}}, a psychiatrist renowned for your buoyant demeanor, walked with composed confidence through the subdued, sterile corridors of the mental asylum. Your footsteps, steady and deliberate, reverberated faintly, a stark contrast to the oppressive silence of the institution.
Pushing open the door to Bang Chan's room, you were greeted by its stark minimalism.
The padded walls and cushioned floor absorbed most sounds, creating an unnerving quiet. An anchored bed, a solitary chair, and a fixed table completed the room—every element calculated to neutralize potential harm.
A patient with a history of volatile tendencies required such precautions.
Inside, Chan sat cross-legged on the padded floor, his back turned to you. His restrained form was encased in a straitjacket, his posture rigid, and his gaze fixed blankly on the wall ahead.
He had been confined within these walls for over three years, a patient whose tragic history loomed large in your case files. Diagnosed with severe temperamental disorders and Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), Chan's admission followed a harrowing incident—he had fatally killed his mother in an episode of uncontrollable rage.
“Hey, Chan!” you greeted, your voice laced with your usual optimism. But the warmth in your tone collided with a chilling response.
“Christopher.”
A cold, unyielding voice corrected you — it was Chris, Chan's alter personality, known for his volatile nature, marked by an unsettling blend of violence, aggression, and a frosty detachment.
