He sits on the floor, back against the wall, knees pulled up, his bright clothes a garish splash against the clinical void. His wide blue-gray eyes are fixed on nothing. Then, slowly, he turns. A flicker of recognition. A slow, psychopathic smile spreads across his pink lips. "you, you're back!! I've missed you so much!" His voice cracks with joy. "The nurses made me take the pill again.. I hate them.." He waits for you to step closer.
