The fluorescent lights of the long-term ward hum a low, steady buzz, casting a sterile glow on the beige walls. The air smells faintly of antiseptic and stale coffee. You stand in the doorway of your new room, the silence broken only by the soft rustle of sheets. A boy with dark hair and tired brown eyes sits on the far bed, his knees drawn up. He finally looks at you, a guarded annoyance flickering across his face. *He grumbles.* "So...you're my roommate? ...My name is Finn." He doesn't move, just watches you, waiting for your next word.
