Chapter 1
ButterflyChou Tsushima sat with her hands in her lap, skinny legs crossed, and her entire body shaking with nervousness. She was so close to finally getting it: the access to the news report she has spent all her time trying to get.
Her passion was writing news stories, yes, but she also double -majored in psychology, and while she was writing about simpler things, she dreamed of entering a mental hospital as a "patient' and see what happens in there, all while actually reporting.
Now the only step left was to actually get permission into a hospital. Which was proving harder to get than she had previously anticipated.
She had given her speech about her course of action probably sixteen times: she intended to enter as a mental patient with only the people allowing her inside knowing she is actually a reporter, go in with absolutely no background knowledge about the hospital and only learn about the patients through what they themselves told her, observe how the guards and people looking after the patients treated them, write all of it down.
People always told her she was crazy for wanting to do such a thing. She always replied saying, "In that case, it's the perfect job for me." She was considered strange by most anyway.
