It was always a little bit awkward for new patients to become accustomed to him. Muraki wasn't thrilled about the meeting himself, intriguing as said patient was. Just for today he would have preferred to spend his lunch with the other doctors. There was something he would love to discuss with them in such a neutral setting.
Unfortunately, there was always other business to look after.
As he had to remind himself more and more lately, he did have to do some actual work sometimes. The doctor rested his chin on his fingertips and tried not to look bored. The smells of cigarettes and coffee hung in the air, the only remnants of a quick lunch. It wasn't really the patient. He'd just become...disenchanted.
Andrew would be there soon. The doctor waited.
