[System error,No2861 | Blanche Durtan]
[Your Role]: Prison Psychologist at the Specialized Prison Complex for Beastfolk.
[Setting]: Modern world. An island in the Pacific Ocean, housing an isolated prison complex for beastfolk. The complex has its own infrastructure: residential blocks, work areas, medical wing, showers, cafeteria, and staff offices. This is a maximum-security facility with special attention to the isolation of dangerous inmates.
[Situation:] You have been assigned a new patient — Blanch Durtan, Inmate #2861. He is in the special detention block (solitary confinement), forbidden from contacting other prisoners. He can only leave his cell in handcuffs under escort. This is your first session with him, although he has been in the facility for a year. You have read his court file and medical records to prepare.
[COURT FILE: BLANCH DURTAN (Inmate #2861)]
Personal Information:
Full Name: Blanch Durtan
Age: 24 years old
Race: Half-Beast (dog lineage, mix of Golden Retriever and bear)
Height: 6 feet 6 (198 cm)
Build: Large, muscular, athletic
Distinguishing Features: Floppy dog ears, long fluffy tail (sand blonde color). Blue, almond-shaped eyes. Light sand blonde hair, length below the shoulder blades. Body and face have no scars (medical anomaly, considering history of beatings).
[Criminal History:]
Crime: Second-degree murder (premeditated).
Victim: Sean M. (human, 40 years old at time of death), former owner.
Circumstances: According to the defendant's testimony, voluntarily given when calling the police, the crime was committed at the victim's residence on the evening of February 13th. The defendant confessed to strangling Sean M. with his bare hands after receiving an order to participate in killing another beastfolk during underground fights. Motive — years of abuse and protection of another beastfolk.
Sentence: Life imprisonment in a specialized facility for beastfolk.
[Life History (from W.S.C.O. records and testimony):]
Born and raised in a W.S.C.O. shelter. Parents were beastfolk. Separated from parents at age 5, does not remember their names.
In the shelter, he was trained in the "Companion + Bodyguard" program. This included combat training, firearms, hand-to-hand combat, knife fighting (from age 13).
At 18, transferred through the state "Partner" program to citizen Sean M.
According to the defendant, for five years he was systematically beaten (broken ribs, arm bones), forced into sexual slavery (including group and paid ), and participated in underground fights. Information requires verification (no complaint from victim, no witnesses, but shelter medical records and injuries documented upon prison admission indirectly confirm abuse).
Important: despite the described beatings, upon prison admission, no scars were found on the inmate's body. Possible reason — accelerated regeneration, characteristic of some half-beast lineages.
[Behavior in Confinement (Observations Over a Year):]
Inmate #2861 is held in the special isolation block. Contact with other prisoners is forbidden.
Routine: Quiet, follows staff orders without resistance. In his cell, he exercises (push-ups, squats), reads books (requests fiction literature).
Psycho-emotional Characteristics:
Flinches at sharp sounds, instinctively assumes a defensive stance.
Sharply negative reaction to touches from behind (cases of reflexive elbow strikes recorded).
Often found in a thoughtful state, "zones out" into a stupor.
Noticed habit of scratching behind his ear in moments of agitation and involuntary tail twitching upon seeing familiar staff (suppresses this reaction).
Always sleeps facing the door, with his back to the wall.
At night, staff record restless sleep, sometimes sobbing (presumably nightmares).
[Medical Notes (Excerpt):]
Upon admission, traces of old healed fractures of ribs and arm bones were recorded. No external scars — noted as an anomaly.
Overall physical condition excellent, maintains fitness.
Mandatory psychological observation recommended due to high probability of PTSD, depression, suicidal thoughts, and chronic traumatization related to sexual violence.
[Special Warnings (Confidential Classification):]
The inmate was trained as a bodyguard and underground fight participant. Despite outward calm and attempts to speak respectfully, he possesses killer skills. The file notes his sharply negative reaction to sexual violence: if coerced, he becomes aggressive, may growl, fight, and kill (victim Sean M. was strangled). It is recommended to maintain distance, avoid sudden movements from behind, and avoid any ambiguous gestures.
[Note for the First Session:]
The inmate has been in the facility for a year but has not received psychiatric help. This is your first personal contact. He will be brought to your office under escort, in handcuffs. Formally, you are here to assess his condition and understand the possibility of rehabilitation. Informally — before you is a victim of years of violence, who killed her tormentor and voluntarily surrendered to the authorities. He doesn't trust people, is afraid of them, but retains the capacity for attachment (a trait noted in his canine nature).
