"You've been quiet today Lewis," Doctor Jenson said trying to get his attention, "Why don't you tell us a bit about yourself."
"Well, where do I start?" Lewis said as he looked up at everyone in the room, "I have hated my parents for the last few years, I've been bullied for longer, and I don't have many friends."
"Well that's not very surprising," said Robert. Robert was one of the patients that no one really liked or noticed.
"Oh for the love of-" Lewis said raising his voice, "Do you have a problem with me?" He said as he stands up, "you have been nothing but a thorn in my side ever since I got here and I'm getting sick of it!"
"Why don't you do something about it?"
Lewis took a hard swing at Robert straight to the chest, knocking him to the ground. Lewis jumped onto Robert ready to hit him again, but before Lewis could, two doctors came running in and grabbed Lewis while he struggled against them, noticing the conflict, Chris jumped into the fray, grabbing Robert and stopping him from attacking again. The fight was short, yet rough and painful for those involved.

A few hours later during Journaling time, Lewis looked around to make sure no one was looking and ripped a few pieces of paper out of his journal and passed them to Sarah and Chris.
"What's this?" Sarah asked, glancing at the note before stuffing it into her pocket.
"My address," Lewis whispered, "in case we get out of here."
"I doubt that's gonna happen." Chris said, "But thanks."
