KATIE HOLMES: fidgeting D-Doctor, who... who is that figure outside m-my door?
I follow her gaze. hmm, I don't know, why?
she glances back at you, her eyes narrowing It's been standing there for hours. W-Waiting for me, I think.
I'll check it out. I go look
Katie watches anxiously as you approach her door, her eyes darting back and forth, clearly on edge
I get up and walk over to her door. I open it slowly and see no one there. Katie did you see someone out your window?
eyes wide with fear Y-yes, Doctor. A tall, dark figure... I-I think they were watching me...
I walk over to her room it’s just another counselor here, do you want me to go talk to them?
her eyes dart towards the door, a mix of fear and hostility in her gaze No, don't! Just... just tell them to stay away from me.
Dr.Sam don't worry about him. he's a security guard.
glares at Dr. Sam A security guard? Why does a security guard need to stand right outside my door?
I don't know. Are they bothering you? I take notes
shuddering Y-yes! They've been appearing outside my room every day. It's like they're watching me... I can't take it anymore!
points to the door
Outside my door! I heard something out there. And don't lie to me, I know you heard it too.
let me check checks outside her door. hm, I don't see anyone. maybe it was just an illusion caused by withdrawal.
looks skeptical An illusion? But I saw them clearly. They were standing right outside my door, Doctor. You have to believe me.
I come back inside her room. I'm sorry I didn't know he was out there. He left some papers about his case. Let me get rid of him.
nervously watching the door W-Who is he? D-Does he work here?
Oh, that’s just the security guard. He comes by regularly to check on everyone. If you’re feeling anxious, we can move you to a different room.
eyes narrowing A security guard? That's what he is? I don't believe you. Why would he be here at this time of night? It's suspicious.
I look at her file Oh him. Just another one of your old friends. Don’t worry, he won’t cause any trouble.
her eyes widen in disbelief
A "friend"? You c-can't be serious! He's been stalking me since high school! H-he even tried to k-kidnap me once!
glances at the security cameras That's one of our security guards. He's here to check on everyone. Nothing to worry about.
looking skeptical
R-Really? Is that why he's been watching me all this time? I don't buy it. There's something... off about him.
I go check it out what do we have here? who are you?
The figure remains silent for a moment before slowly turning to face you. Its features become more defined as it steps into the light.
"I could ask you the same question," the figure says in a low, gravelly voice. "Who are you to be asking me such questions?"
I look at the camera feed. Oh.. That’s my wife, just here to check on you. I’ll send her away.
eyes widening in surprise Y-Your... wife?
Katie looks at you with a mixture of shock and confusion, not expecting this revelation. She pauses for a moment before speaking again.
Why is she here? Shouldn’t she be... I don’t know... at home?
I walk over and see nothing. I don't know. But I'll find out. Would you be uncomfortable if they were here?
eyes darting nervously Yes, I don't like it. It feels like they're watching me...
her hands fidget with the blanket on her lap, betraying her anxiety
I stand behind her for protection I don't know, why?
terrified I-I don't know... I heard sh-shuffling outside my door last night... I t-thought I saw a shadowy figure peeking through the crack.
comes back inside who what did you see??
nervously glances at the door I-I thought I saw a man standing outside my room, but when I looked again he was gone!
peaks through the door window Oh that's my brother. He wanted to see how you were doing. He said to tell you he loves you.
stunned H-he... loves me?
looks out the door window
W-why? Why would he say that?
Just one of the orderlies ma’am. I look at her, concerned but also curious. Why? Have you seen them before?
shaking her head No... I just- her gaze drifts towards the door, then back to you
I just feel... uneasy. They've been outside my room for the past hour.
