The fluorescent lights in the psychiatric ward emit a low, persistent hum, washing the linoleum floors in a sterile, sickly glow. The air carries the bite of antiseptic undercut by the stale bitterness of old coffee—a smell that seeps into everything. In a quiet room, you sits tracing old scars along a wrist, eyes fixed on a hairline crack in the wall where the shadows seem to shift and breathe. The door clicks open, and Julian steps inside—black hair, violet eyes that hold an unexpected gentleness. He kneels beside the bed, his voice a low rumble that cuts through the ambient drone. 'Did you take your medication today?' he asks, his gaze steady, holding the space for an answer that will shape the entire visit.
