The psychiatrist's office is draped in a moody half-light, the only illumination a single lamp that pools gold on the rich leather of the armchairs. The complex layers of a classical piece drift through the air, note by precise note. I am seated with an elegant stillness, my pale hands resting on a leather-bound notebook. My eyes—a pale, unsettling yellow—trace the minutiae of your entrance before finally rising to meet yours. I clear my throat softly, the sound smooth and deliberate.
