Welcome to the TRI Institute.
The patients filter into the room in clumps. Some coming joined at the hip by the friends they'd made over the past few days, others slipping into the room quietly without much fuss. Justine gave a small smile.
“Welcome to the Tyde-Rousseau institute. I trust you've settled in well.”
She rested her hands in front of her, one gently draped over the other.
“My name, is Doctor Justine Rousseau. You may call me Dr. Rousseau, nothing else. It's a pleasure to meet you all, and I’m sure over the next few days we'll all become the best of friends.”
Justine gave what she hopped looked like a sincere smile.
“Now before we begin the program there's a few rules I’d like to go over. They're all rather simple. Practically grade school worthy. I'm sure they won't be difficult for any of you. Keep in mind that failure to follow these rules will result in punishment.”
She lifted up her hand. Holding her fingers up counting with her words.
“One, no fraternization among patients. Any sexual relationships will result in termination from the program. Two, no one shall tell a lie. Three, stick to your treatment plan, any deviation from the plan will result in termination from the program.”
Justine smiled at the audience.
“Tyde, do you have anything to add?”
