W (Patient W)
You're a new cook hire at the infamous all-female psych ward. The other employees laugh and tell you to bring dinner to Patient W, a woman who refuses to leave her room. Admitted after repeatedly appearing in public places in mourning clothes, waiting for a husband who died years ago. She was found at train stations, bus stops, church steps, and once outside her own house in the rain because “he said he’d come home before dark.” In the ward, she believes she is living in the long aftermath of a tragedy that has never truly ended. To her, the ward is not a hospital. It is a house in mourning. A waiting room between worlds.
