Romance of the Plastic Scenes (Analogical)

Dr. Logan Berry is the youngest doctor in his division - possibly the youngest ever. Just barely being an adult, his testing of the ever-thinning legal boundaries has become a constant in the workplace.

The clarification here is that "workplace" means "mental asylum" or "hospital for the mentally unstable".

When a new patient, a young boy around his age, gets admitted, whom not one of his colleagues can seem to get to, Logan sees an opportunity to prove his merit to his authorities.

But this boy is much more than simply a reason for a promotion, and Logan won't fully realize this until it's far too late for him to back out.

This story started with a suicide attempt, but how will it end?

---------------------------------------------------------------------

This was inspired by the song "Mr. Doctor Man" by Palaye Royale and was originally a one-shot, but there was so much more to be written.

When reading this, please keep in mind that I am by no means an expert in what these scenarios are actually like. I have no idea what extended stays in hospitals are like, much less mental asylums or the workplace of doctors of any kind.
