Evalin blinked, dazed for a moment then read the note and smiled at Billy,"No problem," Evalin let her eyes roam over him briefly then grinned and scribbled on the pad, just a few random messy swirls.
She handed the sketchpad to Billy.
"Let's play a game, it involves a bit of drawing but nothing hardcore," She said with a wink," This game is called squiggle-art, I draw a scribble on the paper, and you have to make it into a picture of something- anything- you just have to use that scribble as a base, okay...?" She asked softly.

Lee walked round the sofa, sitting down slowly he looked every now and then at Summer watching her draw. A nurse walked up to him " I've been looking for you Lee, here you go" She said holding out a clear container with another dose of pills. Lee's hand reached out slowly, retracting it back sharply he screwed his eyes tightly before taking the small container tentatively. Swallowing the pills Lee gave the container back to the nurse looking at the floor. " I'll be back later for your next dose, okay?" she said, looking at Lee for a few seconds then walking off. Lee wasn't paying attention he wasn't really interested in anything that was going on in the room, his mind was blocking everything out. Rubbing his eyes slowly he clenched his fist tightly as it started to shake.

To anyone watching, Summer's drawing would look rather psychotic. She knew this, but that was okay. Most people thought she was a freak anyway.

The picture was, simply, lots and lots of men, all the same, all wearing the same suit jacket and tie, all with the same dull expression on their faces. You could only see the head and shoulders of the men, but that was enough to tell you that these were simple, boring, every-day businessmen. There was one, though, in the centre of the middle row, that wasn't wearing a suit and had a smile on his face, his hair slightly ruffled.

Summer looked around the room, an annoyed expression on her face, her eyes searching. At last, her gaze fell upon a small pot that looked like it had once been a baked-beans tin. It was filled with coloured pencils. Why it was there, Summer had never known, because the patients had to supply their own paper, so what were they expected to draw on, the walls? Might bring some colour to the bloody place, Summer thought, a wan smile on her face. She stood up, dropping her sketch in her empty seat, and crossed the room. She plucked out a bright red pencil, returned to her seat, and coloured Mr. Odd-One-Out's jumper in. Picking up her pencil once more, she scrawled across the top of the picture the words;

They Are NOT You

She looked at it. She wasn't satisfied, but she didn't know why. An idea struck her, and she wrote on the paper again. In the top left-hand corner she wrote; Lee, and in the bottom right-hand corner; -Summer x. She didn't know why, but she usually followed her inspiration, so she wasn't about to question it now; she placed the sketch in Lee's lap, watching him carefully.

Evalin grinned at Billy," Now you scribble something..." She said.

Lee looked down slowly at his lap as a picture was placed on him. Picking it up with his hand, he examined the picture carefully reading the words silently to himself. Looking at summer slowly, Lee tried to work out what her picture meant he knew but he wasn't entirely sure. Looking down at the picture again then back at Summer, Lee smiled slightly. not really knowing what to do or say.

Summer watched as Lee looked over her drawing, and instantly regretted giving it to him when he looked at her like she was a freak. She sighed. "You don't have to have it..?" she said softly. "It was just a thought. I don't even know why I did it, really, it just seemed like a good idea." She laughed nervously. Lee probably thought she was some weirdo. Then again, she was. She sighed again, and took hold of her sketchpad, tapping it lightly against her knee. She looked around the room. There were a few more patients than before, which meant more carers, but everything in the bright white room was calm for once. Summer found herself wondering what had happened to Riku and Jonathan since they'd taken their leave of them.

Lee looked around the room quickly. Looking down at the picture again the briefly at Summer. Lee pocketed the picture and glanced at the floor. The living room was starting to fill up with patients and carers. Lee didn't care though he was starting to feel strange from the medication, it wasn't a favoured side affect of his. Closing his eyes slowly he looked at his hands again. The left hand was crunched into a fist and the right was trembling lightly.

Lee closed his eyes tightly, looking down at Summers hands on his again. His head spun round as a carer walked in his footsteps thumping loudly, the dull sound verberating into his ears. Looking around again Lee breathed quickly his eyes darting around the room focusing on every individual half a dozen times. Screwing his eyes shut again he swallowed a lump down into her throat and tried to calm down. But he couldn't Lee was to far into the 'attack' his paranoia was making it worse and the fact there was to many people in the room.

Lee lunged out at Summer grabbing her by the front of her shirt,Pulling her close to his he whispered " How!? how can i calm down? being in here it messes with your mind. When you've been here as long as i have you can't think i don't even know whats going on half the time!" Lee said hands trembling as they gripped onto Summer shirt for dear life.

"Lee? let go off Summer everything's going to be okay" a nurse said holding a needle in her hand she approached Lee from behind. Lee's head turned slightly leaping out of his chair he pushed the nurse into the wall. Taking the needle off her. Pulling her towards him slightly Lee wrapped an arm round her neck backing into the wall so he couldn't be grabbed from behind. Bringing the needle to her neck slowly, he blinked letting go of the nurse Lee dropped to the floor starting at his hands.

Pushing away the needle he felt light headed as a second nurse injected him quickly, trying to stay awake Lee slumped to the floor hands trembling lightly.

Lee heard a low mumbling but it felt more of a drone in his ears.He didn't know where he was or what had just happened, The room was spinning and fading in and out of light and dark and out of focus. Blinking drowsily he tried to move but couldn't, someone was holding him he couldn't see who it was his vision was like he was being held underwater. Lee's eyes finally gave in heavily to whatever he was injected with. Eyes flickering closed Lee slumped down into Summers arms his head drooping down his body entirely limp.

Evalin's watching eyes followed Billy as he stood up and moved towards the door.
"Bye Billy." She said simply, a smile forming on her face as she looked back at her sketchpad, flipped a new page and began to sketch again.

Kyo gave up and walked out, leaving them alone, wandered around and accidentally walked into a room with somebody knocked out on the sofa and somebody asleep in front of it... and more carers of course. He wondered what had happened but didn't ask anybody. He just moved out of the doorway and stood next to the door.

Lee groaned lightly as the sedative started to wear off. Blinking drowsily Lee tried to sit p but found himself too dizzy to really move. Looking down at the floor Lee noticed Summer asleep on his knees. He couldn't remember anything of what happened. Why was he sedated,? did he do something he shouldn't have? Resting his head back down his breathed slowly trying to think back to what happened, but he couldn't it was just a blurry mess.
