Nova silently shuffled her files as she glanced around her cluttered office. With a sigh, she glanced at the large pile of people she could take on as her patient.
She made her way to the desk picking up the dull folder that laid on the top of the stack.
She opened the foulder her eyes landing on the picture of a girl who looked to be her own age, the girls eyes held a sorrow she could only imagine the cause of.
better yet the girl had a lazy but goofy grin spread across her face. She read down

Female    
age 27,
Height 5'4
Seems to be suffering from delusional disorder, she was emitted to our facility three months ago and has been spiraling deeper into her delusions her suspicions for the staff has grown too dangerous depths we fear that we might not be able to help her at all. She has not trust in any one of the staff.
Nova crossed her arms as she glanced at the folder not noticing the creaking of her office door as a petite girl entered the room.
"Hello!"
The girl cheered as Nova spun in her chair spotting the petite ginger haired girl wearing a smile."Im Quinn it a pleasure to meet you."

Nova shrunk at the girls high pitched voice.

"I'm nova..." she murmured as the girl moved closer. Leaning over nova's shoulder peering down at the open folder lying on her desk.

" oh my you shouldn't think about her! She nearly took out Leo's eye. It was horrific.''

Nova studied the girl as she smiled down at her.

" what do you mean ?"

Nova questioned quietly as she rubbed her temple.

"oh you don't want to know the gory details in the end we had to move her to the blank room." Quinn smiled once again before exiting the room.

Nova slumped back in her chair. How could she take what she said, the girl in the picture did not seem that threatening  after all.
With a firm grin, Nova made up her mind. She would just to meet this Astella and see for herself it was the only reasonable thing to do. Nova took large strides through the hall throwing her shoulders back and holding her head high. As she heard a loud crash a slur of cursing.
"You fool! How did she get the file!"

"I-I don't know i tried to scare her off but it dont know if it worked!"
"Scare her off how would that help us!"
"She might not take the case now!"

Nova crept closer to the door creaking it open were Quinn stood with a tall woman with long black hair and carmally skin. When she turned, Nova was astounded to see the woman had violet eyes. She bit back a gasp of surprise as the women marched to her desk and grabbed a bottle popping back a large red pill.

"Why did you do it?" Quinn questions her large brown eyes filled with curiosity.
"None of your concern!" Astra barked out as Quinn fell to the ground.

Nova stumbled backwards biting back a yelp as her legs went out from under her.

"What was that!" 

Nova heard astra bark out and the shuffling of feet. She quickly rose to her feet darting down the hall Her feet meet the hard ground as she ran as fast as could down the tense hallway where not a soul could be seen. She stumbled into her office throwing herself into her soft cushioned chair where she breathed in for three seconds and out for three seconds again and again she repeated the exercise three seconds in three seconds out.

Her nerves calmed and she opened her eyes, her mind now clear and the fear rid from her system. What could she do next what should she do next? Well her first option was she could go to Astella's room and see if what she was told was true. The better question is, what should she do with the information she was just provided with. 

What about this Leo character? Would he give her a better idea of what was or rather is going on in this faculty. Or would he just make her even more confused? But right now he seemed to be her best bet and then if it still seemed like a good idea to go and meet this astella girl.
With this in mind nova left her office.

Nova wandered down the hall the off-white paint giving her a headache as the walls never seemed to end and o door came into sight. Now she wondered how she had found the office were the two girls had been speaking when she cant even find on room. Much less the room she was looking for.

Minute by minute she paced down the hallway until finally she came across a slick metal door with a barred window peering into it. She crept closer opening the door to find a small boy sitting on a metal framed bed peering at nothing as tears his eyes filled with tears.
