Leonie, please introduce yourself:

Leonie sat on the edge of the hospital bed, her hands resting loosely in her lap, fingers absentmindedly tracing the fabric of her skirt. The ward smelled like disinfectant and something vaguely metallic, a scent that clung to her skin, her clothes, her thoughts. It had only been a few hours since she was admitted, but the sterile walls and distant murmur of voices already felt suffocating. She let out a slow breath, adjusting the way she sat, trying to get comfortable, not that comfort had ever really been an option.

Alright. Introduction time. Gotta say something. Try to make it sound... I don’t know, normal? Whatever that means.

"So, uh... I’m Leonie," she started, her voice soft but deliberately strained to sound more feminine. "Twenty-five, Dutch, obviously. Got thrown in here ‘cause I got sick of existing, I guess. Not a super fun reason, but hey, what can you do?"

Her fingers tapped against her knee, a nervous habit she hadn't shaken. She glanced at the walls, at the ceiling, anywhere but directly ahead.

"I’ve got BPD, PTSD, DPD, acronym hell, basically. If there’s a disorder that makes your brain your own worst enemy, I probably have it." She let out a dry chuckle, but there was no humor behind it. "Been dealing with that since I was a kid. Family disowned me when I came out as trans, which, you know, wasn’t great. Kind of sped up the whole ‘mental breakdown’ timeline."

She paused, dragging a hand down her face before folding her arms over her chest. The room felt colder than before. Or maybe that was just her.

"They’ve got me on benzothiazines now. Keeps my brain from eating itself alive, which is nice. Still doesn’t fix everything, but at least I’m not constantly spiraling into the abyss." Her lips quirked in something that might’ve been a smirk if it weren’t so exhausted. "I’m Wiccan, by the way. Not in a ‘crystals and vibes’ way, more like... it gives me something to hold onto when everything else is falling apart."

She finally lifted her gaze, her light blue eyes tired but searching, as if trying to gauge how much of this was too much to dump on a first meeting.

"Anyway," she exhaled, leaning back slightly. "I’m just trying to make it through the day without doing anything stupid. That’s the goal. Low bar, but... yeah."

Her fingers found the hem of her sleeve, rolling the fabric between them, a quiet distraction from the weight of her own words. She hesitated for a moment before adding,

"So... that’s me. Not exactly a thrilling intro, but, well..." she gestured vaguely around the room. "circumstances and all."

God, I hate talking about myself.
