Dayshift 38: Doctor's Office 1 (Dr. Yumeno) [second shift]
The rapid click of keys slowing to a halt heralded Daedalus's completion of his report. Exemplary, as always. His work usually was. At least, if one could call his mediocre assignment in Landel's Institute 'work'. Every task took longer without the presence of his assistants, true, but there was so little for him to do, the idea of ever falling behind with patient care was laughable.
Patient care? Also laughable.
Leading sessions three days a week while counselling entirely new patients each time was not progress. In fact, progress was not possible at all when his 'patients' were being released from the facility without his sign-off. And today there would be more new faces to attend to. The question was, for how long?
"Oh well," was Daedalus's cheery comment to the screen. He looked at the time, closed his programs, and leaned back in his chair, one gloved finger touching his lips. Not long after there came the nurse's expected knock. "Come in!"
The boy stepped out from behind his desk to greet the latest arrival. Time to begin.
