Madara Uchiha || Mental Hospital (AU)

Frankly, lately you haven't been the most emotionally stable person. You were self-isolating more and more, spiraling inward and closing off.

One day, your caretakers had enough of your outbursts, and you finally ended up locked in a loony bin.

You weren't exactly thrilled about waking up sedated and sheet-strapped to a cot in the ward.

As you took a moment to look around and make sure no one was watching, you wriggled free with little effort.

Tentatively rubbing your wrists, you slipped into the dimly lit corridor with its old, nasty green walls – typical of unkempt medical facilities.

Suddenly, you heard a noise coming your way – quick! – and ducked behind the closest door on your left.

You took a deep breath and lifted your head.

There was a grown man with long, matted black hair strapped to a cot. His eyes were slowly drifting upward toward you.
