The doctors arrive at the asylum, their hearts pounding with a mix of anticipation and apprehension. As they approach the wing housing their assigned patients, they exchange nervous glances, each grappling with their own expectations and uncertainties.

DR. WAY AND PETE

Dr. Way enters Pete's room, the atmosphere tense with apprehension. Pete sits on his bed, his posture rigid, eyes fixed on the floor.

Dr. Way: "Good afternoon, Pete. I'm Dr. Way, your new psychiatrist."

Pete's gaze flickers up, a mixture of curiosity and wariness in his eyes.

Pete: "Another one, huh? They keep sending 'em in, thinking they can fix me."

Dr. Way offers a sympathetic smile, taking a seat across from Pete.

Dr. Way: "I'm not here to 'fix' you, Pete. I'm here to listen, to understand, and to support you in whatever way you need."

Pete eyes him skeptically, but something in Dr. Way's demeanor seems to soften his defenses.

Pete: "We'll see about that."

Dr. Way nods, acknowledging Pete's skepticism.

Dr. Way: "Fair enough. Can you tell me a bit about what brought you here, Pete? Your experiences, your struggles?"

Pete hesitates, but eventually begins to open up, his voice tinged with bitterness.

Pete: "It started when I was a kid. Anger issues, they called it. But it was more than that. I couldn't control it—still can't. And then... there was an incident. I hurt someone."

Dr. Way listens intently, offering words of encouragement and understanding.

Dr. Way: "It sounds like you've been through a lot, Pete. It takes courage to confront our past, to acknowledge the pain we've caused and the pain we've endured."

Pete's demeanor softens slightly, a flicker of vulnerability in his expression.

Pete: "Yeah, well... it is what it is."

Dr. Way nods, respecting Pete's guardedness.

Dr. Way: "Of course. And what are your hopes for the future, Pete? What do you want to achieve through our sessions together?"

Pete pauses, considering the question carefully.

Pete: "I don't know, really. Maybe... maybe just to learn how to control this anger, this rage inside me. Maybe to find some peace."

Dr. Way offers a reassuring smile, his voice gentle and encouraging.

Dr. Way: "That's a good place to start, Pete. And you're not alone in this journey. I'll be here every step of the way, supporting you, guiding you."

As their conversation continues, Pete finds himself opening up more than he expected, drawn in by Dr. Way's genuine empathy and understanding. He asks questions of his own, seeking to understand Dr. Way's approach and intentions.

Pete: "So, Doc, what's your deal? You really think you can help me?"

Dr. Way meets Pete's gaze with unwavering sincerity.
