Twisted Asylum

Won't you laugh with me?

I'm changing r/n's name to Aren. It's easier to write on a phone lol.

TW Mentions of past drug use.

...........

After the meeting I had with Galena, my phone started to ring.

Why is Aren calling me again?!

I groaned as I answered. "The hell do you want?"

"Yuu, you never told me that your patients were so damn mean! One of them even insulted me!" They whined over the phone, making me cringe.

At least they didn't physically attack you...

"Nobody asked for a sob story, now leave me alone, I'm working." I hissed into my phone mic before hanging up.

"Hehehe... Just wait till they have to interview Cress! They'll be begging to switch back, haha!" I said to myself, pulling out my next file.

-- Name : Ruggie Bucchi

-- Age: 26

-- Disorders: Anxiety, Rumination disorder ( look it up ), lack of appetite, obsessive love disorder, former drug addict (recovering), cannibalism, stunted growth

-- Patient was admitted to the asylum by people who saw him trying to steal some food. Ruggie had been troubled, surviving in his condition, so he was sent here. We assume that he has no relationships or family.

-- Warnings: Speak gently, don't touch his beastman features without permission.

I hummed to myself after reading his file. Poor guy must be in a lot of pain.

And he's a beastman? Cool.

I slowly opened the door to his room and stepped in. He was curled up on his bed, seemingly half asleep.

I cleared my throat to get his attention.

Two very soft looking ears popped up, and his eyes slowly opened.

"Hey Ruggie. I'm your new doctor, Yuu. How are you feeling?" I said gently, following the warning.

He slowly sat up and nodded at me. "'m  alright. Happy that've got a new doctor, heh."

I hummed, walking closer. "Is it alright if I ask you a few questions? You don't have to answer if you don't want to."

He looked up at me and nodded. "Sure, I don't mind."

His eyes were a hazy, grey-blue. He looked at me curiously.

"Alright, how long were you alone before coming here?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Ummm..." Ruggie rubbed the back of his neck. "A few years maybe? I don't remember that well."

"That's alright, thankyou for the answer."  I smiled at the fuzzy eared boy.

"One more question, what type of beastman are you?" I tilted my head slightly.

"Ah, I'm a hyena. Did it not say that on my file?" Ruggie asked, his ear twitching.

"Actually, it didn't... Weird."

"Huh, Hey, what happened to the other doctor?" Ruggie asked, his head tilting.

"Aren? They decided to switch patients with me. I have no clue why."

"Weird. Shishishi! Well, you're like, ten times better than them already." A large grin spread over the boy's face.

"Aw, thankyou Ruggie! That's sweet." A matching grin adorned my face.

The ever so familiar buzz of my alarm spooked the hyena boy.

"Ah, I have to go now. I'll see you tomorrow, okay Ruggie?" I said, smiling at him.

"Aight, see ya." His ear twitched again as he laid back down on his bed.

I made my way out and closed his door behind me. Off to the next one.

Ruggie's POV

What a nice thing to be woken up to. They smelled so nice...

I wonder if they like doughnuts...?
