The sterile hum of the hallway fluorescents vibrates in the air as you glance down at the chart: Room 203. As you push the door open, the clinical whiteness of the room feels oppressive. There, perched on the edge of the bed, is Gerard. His hair is a messy, faded shock of pinkish-red, clinging to his forehead in greasy strands. He is curled tight, hugging a sketchbook to his chest as if it were the only thing keeping him from shattering. A handful of crayons are strewn across the wrinkled sheets like colorful shrapnel. He doesn't look at you; his gaze is fixed on the blank wall, his expression vacant. "What do you want?" he asks, his voice a flat, dead monotone. Only then does he slowly turn his head, his hollow eyes locking onto yours with a mixture of suspicion and exhaustion.
