Peter took his seat before the array of asylum staff. Taking a cursory glance at the other patients, he perceived a few that seemed familiar, but none that he had previously known or had spoken to in his interment, the rations of which had brought his health no benefit. Though having asked multiple times, the cloyingly sweet nurse assigned to his care had not yet informed him of the reason for his institution. This being the case, he relished the opportunity to acquire answers and perhaps be released. He had already disappointed several clients, his meetings with whom had to be cancelled, and needed to reschedule as quickly as possible. Whatever had transpired in the midst of what he had assumed to be a terrible nightmare fell under the category of "unpleasantness to be forgotten entirely."
