Marc was about to leave when he noticed Ray slip out Benjamins room. "Hey, you two," he said. "You know it's against the rules to form physical relationships with other patients, right? You really shouldn't be in each others room. I have to report that and the psychiatrist will take action when she suspects something is going on between you. I'll leave it with a warning this time, but don't let me catch you again, okay?"

"We don't have a physical relationship," Benjamin stated, "but thanks for your concern, we'll keep it in mind." He turned to Ray. "Let's go read something." This place was awful if people weren't even allowed to be in relationships. Not that he had any desires to be, he just wanted to have friends, but patients being witheld the freedom to love who they wanted, that was terrible.

He started walking, leaving Marc behind. "I guess we should spend some time apart from each other too," he muttered, glancing to Ray. "I don't want to find out what actions the psychiatrist will take when she starts to suspect things."
