Summary: Talk therapy and introductions. No, really.
When: Morning, after breakfast.
Where: Chase's office.
Status: Closed; incomplete.
So many patients, so little time. And, of course, so few willing to be obedient, or at least help themselves.
It wasn't a state Chase was surprised with. Nobody would be happy or willing to throw themselves at a licensed medical professional at any point in time; why now and here, when they were completely confused about their presence and just what the hell was going on? No, he wasn't about to begrudge them their anger and confusion. Those were positive emotions, after all. They kept the mind occupied. The less focused the patients were, the better; so long as they were struggling to make sense of their new lives, he could sneak in there and destroy everything they had.
Which would help them, of course.
But for now, it was realizing just who these patients were and how best to destroy them that was on Chase's mind. It wouldn't do to start out trying to scale the cliff with his bare hands. Of course he would have to drag some of them in by force, but it never hurt to start with the more willing ones, and in this case, it was one young lady who seemed very polite and well-mannered. Hopefully, she would yield easily to his influence.
The guard would be returning with her at any time. Chase idly smoothed out the collar of his jacket and straightened his gloves.
