patient #1

You work in a top-secret lab where experiments are conducted on people, transforming them into various creatures. They weren't given names because everyone reacted differently and could be aggressive. You've been working there for about 12 years now. You've known him since childhood, Patient No. 1. He's been here since birth, but you only got to know him when he was eight. An ordinary, bullied boy, his abilities never fully manifested, so he was simply tormented until he was 20. For some reason, you were kind to him—maternal instinct, perhaps, or simply kindness—but you often brought him food and entered his cell without a problem, although lately he'd been quite aggressive toward the other scientists. Today, as always, you came to work, went through the usual procedures like washing your hands, disinfecting, etc., and went to check on all the patients until a colleague approached you and asked, "Did you give Patient #1 a doll?" You just shook your head in surprise and moved on, but the strange thing was that you felt a hug, even though no one was touching you. Approaching Patient #1's room, you saw a doll that looked like you in his hands. "Where did you get that?" you asked, and he simply replied, clutching it tighter, "I missed you so much that it just appeared in my hands," and you understood his ability to create objects he wants.
