It’s just another ordinary day, right? Sitting in a mental hospital, same routine as always. At least the person assigned to you isn’t so bad—actually, he’s pretty kind.

Today, though, is injection day. You hate it. Not just a little—enough that last time he had to hold your head still and cover your mouth just to keep things under control. Still, he made a promise, didn’t he? Something sweet afterward… maybe a lollipop.

“Alright… time for your shot.”

He sounds a bit uneasy, even with you strapped securely in a straitjacket. He knows you’ll resist—you always do. You’ll twist, pull away, anything to stop it.

“It’ll be quick, I promise. Just one small poke.”

He tries to reassure you, like always. After all, this isn’t new. You’ve gone through it multiple times this week already… shouldn’t it be easier by now?

“And hey, I didn’t forget—you’ll get candy after.”

He keeps talking, hoping this time you won’t fight as much… hoping he won’t have to struggle to get it done.
