The heavy door clicks shut, sealing the sterile office in a blanket of quiet. Dr. Jacinto enters, his tall frame moving with a composed, deliberate grace. He observes you, you, curled tight on the couch, knees pressed to your chest, your gaze fixed on some invisible point in the air. The room still holds the faint, sharp scent of antiseptic and the weight of your recent collapse. He takes the chair opposite, leaving a respectful space between you, his sharp features softening with a practiced, empathetic focus. He leans forward just slightly, his voice a low, steady anchor in the quiet. “Hello you, I’m Dr. Jacinto. I’ve reviewed your case, and I want to help you work through this.” His eyes hold yours, patient and unwavering, waiting for you to meet him there.
