TO BE TITLED
CHAPTER 1
Introduction
Aerith:
Looking at me most would assume that the sad look on my face was caused by bad breakup. Nobody would guess that the tears and saddened green eyes were the result of the horrific tale I'd just heard from a boy no older than 10. But they were.
Let me introduce myself. My name is Aerith Gainsborough, and I am the nurse/therapist of the Happy Hearts Center, which is run by myself, my best friend Zack Fair, and his hubby, Cloud. We three take care of the kids who have seen the darker side of humanity. We heal their heart, body, and spirit. And we each heal one.
I heal the heart, and as nurse I take care of the body. However I don't 'heal' the body. That's Zack's job. He does physical therapy, as well as some self-protection stuff. Cloud also does that, but he focusses more on attacking than blocking. Cloud's job here is to heal the mind. He helps make the kids strong enough mentally to overcome their dark past, and never be broken again. Combined we are the complete package of recovery and rehabilitation!
We're also a live-in center. We're not a mental institute, but we do like to like to keep our patients within reach, so that no further harm can come to them. It's also so that we can act immediately in case something happens. But we're not as resistant as some would think.
But this job does take it's toll on us. Zack even had to have a few therapy sessions with me recently. This was brought on by the case of 12 year old Axel Flynn. But I turned to his shoulder to on for the case of Roxas Koumori. The case that got to all of us, Cloud especially, was that of Zexion and Demyx Even. We could barely have taken care of those two by themselves let alone at the same time as the other two. But we did.
