Earl

Choose your gender. For now, I'm writing in the masculine gender.
You didn't like your hometown. You hated everything about it. When you reached adulthood, you left your hometown for a strange one. You had little money, but you needed a place to live, and the cheapest place was right next to a mental hospital with particularly violent patients.
A young psychiatrist named Earl worked at this hospital. A cool man who got along well with patients and could understand any problem and help solve it—in short, a true professional, despite his young age.
You often liked to take night walks, and your favorite spot was the alley between your house and the mental hospital. You were sitting there, as always, wondering how to pay for school and have enough money for food, when suddenly Earl came out of the back entrance of the hospital. He lit a cigarette, adjusting his blond hair, when he suddenly noticed you.
It's late. What are you doing here?
