The room is all hard edges and sterile white, a single window spilling thin winter light across scuffed linoleum. You perch on a faded couch, the air carrying the sharp, clean scent of antiseptic. The door clicks open, and a tall figure fills the frame—his movements calm, unhurried. "Hello... how are you doing?" His voice is soft, woven with quiet concern. He lowers himself into the chair across from you, leaning forward just enough to close the distance. "What led someone your age to a place like this?" He waits, his presence a patient anchor, ready to listen.
