A/N
Alrighty, wolfies, here's another because of the quarantine, and I'm bored. Some backstory: As a child you never knew why you could never see your parents, until you realized that it was because of the lack of psychiatrists, and so the career you pursued was the one that they needed, and you have been employed to a new youth correctional facility. Also, I'm trying a new perspective. Hope y' all enjoy.

"Doctor L/n, we have a new one for you." The 'nurse' said quietly, her voice a natural hush.

F/n nodded quickly while keeping her eyes locked on the metal clipboard, reading over the descriptions of the male's profile the nurse had handed her.

"OK nurse," F/n looked at the name tag of the uniform, "Williams, I'll be going to check in and have an interview with him now."

The nurse grew a panicked look, "Oh, no no! Ma'am, you misunderstand, he's highly-"

F/n cut her off with a halfhearted laugh, "I may be the youngest doctor on the floor, Williams, but I can handle a homicidal boy."

Nurse Williams still appeared troubled for a few moments longer before solemnly agreeing and leaving the clean, white hallway.

"Okay," F/n mumbled, looking through the paperwork as she started her way to the room, "Client 1072, Liu Woods, age 19...in a youth facility? Whatever...brown hair, green eyes, multiple scars from knife wound on face...DID, ADHD, Bipolar...okay."

F/l took a deep breath, fixed a few strands of her h/c hair, then slid her key card into the employee entrance slot and waited as the metal airlock door clicked, then opened with a green light to the top.

She walked in to the average room, with pale grey walls and short, white carpet, with clean bed sheets, and a simple wood desk fit with chair.

"Hello, Mr. Woods, I am doctor L/n," F/n said while the door shut, looking up and around for the boy. "Mr. Woods, can you join me out here for a conversation?"

"What's it to you?" A snarky voice asked from F/n's left, which she slowly turned to see the owner standing by the sink on the wall.

He stood tall, just about five foot nine, as in her transcripts, and his complexion was poor, like that of his small profiling photo.

F/n chuckled before holding out a hand, "I need to make money somehow, don't I?"

The pale boy looked at her hand for a few moments, eyes darting from there to her face before he grinned lightly and took her hand for a shake.

"Alright, you're decent so far. So doc, amuse me! Gon' ask how I am? If I got an owie?"

"Ha, I wish I was that doctor, but no, actually, I was going to sit and talk. Simple things, what's your favorite color? Do you like to read? Have a girlfriend? Summer or winter?"

Liu looked a little taken aback, but sat on the stiff mattress, facing the young woman who soon after, sat on the chair.

"Doc, do I look like a normal guy to have a conversation with?"

Another laugh.

"Not necessarily, but looks can be deceiving," F/n said with a grin, leaning back on the chair while making sure her voice recorder was on. "How about I start? Hi, I'm Dr. L/n, and I am twenty three, in training, my favorite color is f/c, and I love to earn my own money and go home to a clean place." She smiled lightly after, showing off her teeth while waiting for Liu to say something.

"Huh, well, dear, I am Liu Woods, and honestly, can't wait to run a sharp blade across your throat."

Liu's entire demeanor had changed entirely, from curious and snarky to violent and gruesome.

"I get that a lot," The woman said with a slight laugh, looking through her papers. "I see, that you call yourself Sully, huh? Now...also say here, that Sully has certain emotions! How do you feel about your brother, Jeff, Sully?"

The expression on Liu's face went to one of fury, where he was almost drooling with rage.

"He is a demon from hell itself, who deserves to burn in eternal flames of pain and fear, to feel the hurt that he has caused others."

"I bet, from what it says, but how about you tell me why you hate him? Why you specifically, dislike him, not the story the new media has, yours." F/n knew the ways around the mind, and she could easily tell that this was the way to convince Liu to open up to her.

He chuckled darkly, "Surprise surprise, he used to be a half decent older brother, ya know? Play games with me, mess my hair up, wrestle, the whole nine yards. Then Mom had to make the decision to apply Dad for a new job, bippity boppity boo, we moved to a new home, new state. New school, new people. Jeff was around fifteen when this happened, and I was ten. We were walkin' to school and musta' took a wrong turn down the wrong street, because boo! Three dukes had us surrounded, and were taking our money. Jeffrey didn't like it, no he did not, and he fought them for making me cry. Ha, you shoulda' seen it, they got whooped. But a few days later, the po came to our house!"

"Yes, seems it's on your record here."

Liu nodded, mood seeming to shift. Back to Liu, F/n thought. 

"Well, I couldn't let my brother, who was my hero at the time, take a fall for protecting me, so when I heard what they were saying, I hit myself over the face a few times, making sure there were bruises before running down and taking the blame. Jeff tried, he did, to convince them otherwise. But who would believe him? When I came back, I heard Jeffrey was in the hospital. Mom and Dad took me to visit him....but he was so different. His hair was black instead of brown, and he was as white as paper from burns. When he saw his own face after they removed the bandages..." F/n listened intently, feeling sorry for Liu after already hearing a good half of his story. "He...was so scared. Until we went home. I...went out in the middle of the night, hearing him laughing in the bathroom. He had turned to me with a huge, huge grin, and said 'Ain't I perty?'. I left and ran to my room, too scared to go get my parents. A few nights later...he woke me up. There was blood all over him, his face mostly. And two gruesomely carved cuts on the sides of his face, making it look like he had a huge smile. But that was all I remember before he told me one thing.

"Go to sleep.

"When he said it, he started stabbing. Over and over," F/n could tell Liu was starting to breakdown as he spoke, shaking back and forth, eyes clouding over with tears.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep," Liu repeated before breaking into sobs. "I was so mad! So angry! I killed the first person i saw! Didn't have a care about it! And it just continued. My parents were dead, my brother somewhere, killing people. The next people I killed were those stupid bullies. Jeff seemed to have left them in town, gone off to kill innocent people. But...I got caught killing the third one."

The young woman pat the boy's back, having moved closer to comfort the patient in his fear. She knew one thing, she would look in to Jeffrey Woods' case for sure.

"Alright Liu, how about I get them to bring you dinner and you go to bed? Try and snooze it off?" She avoided the word 'sleep' purposefully, to not trigger anything.

He nodded and she stood, ending the recording and walking to the door, but turned before leaving and whispered.

"By the way, I lost my parents to crazy too."
