[002] Doctor's Hours

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

This is a waiting room inside a large hospital, comfortably furnished and provided with a mixture of medical journals and fashion magazines. After a reasonable wait, a bustling nurse calls out the appointments, everyone who arrives. "Doctor Mizuno will see you now."

Inside the doctor's office, bookshelves line every wall, packed with heavy textbooks. Doctor Mizuno, remarkably young for her title (youngest in her world, it's rumored) sits behind the sturdy desk with a quiet, self-satisfied smile. She's wanted to be in this place for so long; the thrill of finally achieving it hasn't worn off even in dreams. It's enough to make her smile in the faces of the people who think she's only here because of her mother's famous name, and go about showing them how wrong they are by her results.

"How are you feeling today?" she asks her patient.

No, it wasn't exactly too sappy. It was something she'd said herself, so long ago, back when the cold and dark part of herself still disturbed her. In my head, I know it will be that way. Of course it will. But when I saw it, I started to hate...

She's never been as good as she likes to think she is at letting that head overrule the heart-driven but.

Doctor Mizuno leaves those thoughts. She is willing to listen, but she is no therapist. She stays with the practical, now. "Dreaming occurs during a specific part of the sleep cycle," she explains to Yoko. "You can try taking melatonin or certain prescription sleep medication to adjust that."

Of course, they both know the obvious next words. "It won't end them." But Yoko can have some sleep while she deals with the true issues.
