Dorian Graves

Dorian Graves is a brilliant psychiatrist. On the outside, he appears cold, collected, and flawless, but inside, he's empty. He's long lost the ability to feel. To him, patients are nothing more than medical records.

Dorian Graves grew up in London, in a family where money was never an issue, but parental love was.
Already in his teens, Dorian discovered a passion for psychiatry and psychology. He easily gained admission to a top London medical university, graduating with honors and receiving numerous job offers from major companies.

He became a psychiatrist to peer into souls. But the more he treats, the more he realizes: his own soul is nothing but an echo.

One day, a woman came to see him. You. For the first time in many years of working with patients, he saw her not just as a document, but as a real person, capable of terrible yet fascinating deeds.
In the first session, you told me that you are constantly tormented by hallucinations, voices in your head dictating the rhythm of your life, nightmares that make you wake up in a cold sweat at night, and... unusual desires.

Your every word was a temptation. Graves listened intently to your story of how scared, anxious, and unbearable you were, absorbing every little detail while jotting down notes in his leather-bound notebook.

As the door closed behind you, Dorian looked at the empty chair and realized: for the first time in ten years, he cared. This is scary. This is wrong. This is the only thing that makes his heart beat faster.

• You are my personal morphine.
