A MEETING

...Dr. Hans stared coldly at Dr. Kyle, narrowing his eyes....

...“So, how’s Zain?” His voice echoed sharply in the quiet room, emotionless and stern....

...Dr. Kyle paused, thinking for a moment before responding....

...“He’s stable for now. He was calm when I left him, he’s asleep in his bed.”...

...Dr. Hans watched him carefully, analyzing every word....

...“May I know what mental illnesses Zain has?” he asked, his voice still flat and probing....

...Dr. Kyle looked down at the floor for a moment, recalling Joey’s medical file....

...“Let’s see... severe psychopathic behavior... borderline personality disorder...”...

...Dr. Hans cut in, listing more without hesitation. “Narcissism. Anger issues.”...

...Dr. Kyle nodded. “Mhm, those too. He’s quite difficult to manage, especially with all those conditions combined.”...

...Dr. Hans rolled his eyes. “He’s also one of our worst patients,” he said coldly, his words sending a chill down Dr. Kyle’s spine....

...“Uhm... y-yeah, I know,” Dr. Kyle replied, trying to force a smile. “I’ve been his psychiatrist for four years now... I know him better than most of the doctors here.”...

...Dr. Hans leaned forward slightly, arms crossed, eyes locked on Dr. Kyle....

...“You sure he hasn’t killed or harmed anyone?”...

...“What!?” Dr. Kyle blinked, startled. “W-why would you ask that?”...

...Dr. Hans rolled his eyes again, unimpressed. “That’s what the staff have been asking. They’ve been complaining about his self abuse, random bursts of laughter and tears, uncontrollable hyperactivity. They're concerned.”...

...He frowned and looked down at the floor, clearly deep in thought....

...Dr. Kyle sighs "I'm really sorry if he is acting weird and...wild." I don't know what got into him when he acted like that. I'm sure he won't act like that again......

...“Listen, Dr. Kyle,” Dr. Hans said, his tone cold and unwavering, “I’m afraid we have no choice but to neutralize him.”...

...Dr. Kyle’s eyes widened in shock. He stared at Dr. Hans, then shook his head in disbelief....

...“No, no, no... You’re not saying we’re going to get rid of him. He needs help. He needs treatment. You can’t just eliminate someone because they’re difficult!”...

...Dr. Kyle tried to reason with him, but Dr. Hans didn’t seem moved in the slightest....

...“He’s a danger to us, Dr. Kyle. You have no idea what he’s truly capable of.”...

...“He just needs to be controlled,” Dr. Kyle insisted. “He just needs to be monitored, constantly supervised to make sure he doesn’t do anything reckless. The other doctors have been complaining that he won’t cooperate with anyone but me, and—”...

...He stopped mid-sentence as a realization hit him....

...Dr. Hans raised an eyebrow. “What is it?”...

...Dr. Kyle looked up, meeting his gaze directly. His expression turned cold and serious. He finally realized what Dr. Hans us trying todo and he didn't like it at all....
