Patient Logs

by shsldespair

Summary:

The hope is that if they let her talk long enough, she'll say something useful. Maybe they'll understand why this mess happened. How to help her. Maybe.

[Post-game AU in which Mikan woke up from her coma in despair. Her backstory is pieced together through therapy sessions.]

Notes:

Lots of triggering content present, namely child abuse, medical abuse, resulting trauma for such things, and suicidal thoughts. I've tried to tag the major ones in the main description. If you'd like a more detailed warning, a full chapter by chapter trigger list can be found here: http://freetexthost.com/32jgcyo6bb. If you think I've missed something on there, please, please comment. I want people to be able to safely engage in my disgusting trash fic.

I do welcome prompts in the form of a question/statement for her to respond to!

Chapter 1: COMPLETE PATIENT LOGS: PATIENT #014

Name: Mikan Tsumiki

Title: Ultimate Nurse (former) / Ultimate Despair

Reason for capture: Gross crimes against humanity related to the Despair Incident (see attached file for further details)

Sentence: Death by lethal injection
                Rehabilitation via the New World Program

Entry 01: Patient captured. Initial examination shows extreme emotional volatility- prone to intermittent fits of crying and rage. Relatively nonthreatening if not provoked. Avoid all mention of Patient #000 (Junko Enoshima). Patient shows symptoms of extreme bacterial infection. Further exploration needed. Pending sentencing along with the other Remnants of Despair.
02: Cause of infection determined to be transplant rejection and improperly dressed surgical wounds (possibly self-inflicted). Pending removal.
03: Womb of #000 successfully removed from #014. Crying fits are near-constant.
04: Patient restrained after multiple attempts to pick out stitches.
05: For gross crimes against humanity and involvement in the Despair Incident, patient has been sentenced to death. EDIT: Our judgement has been overridden.
06: Patient has been transferred to facility on Jabberwock Island for rehabilitation.
07: New World Program successfully initiated.
08: New World Program NOT successfully initiated. 'Island Life of Mutual Killing' virus has taken over the simulation. Urgent action needed. As of now, memory wipes still effective.
09: Erratic behavior noted by #014. Possible cause 'Despair Fever'.
10: Memory loss compromised. Observation necessary.
11: Due to in-simulation death, patient brain functions ceased. #014 is currently in a vegetative state.
12: Patient stable.
13: Patient stable.
14: Patient stable.
15: Patient transferred to separate ward for coma care upon the termination of the New World Program.
16: Patient stable.
17: Patient stable.
...
32: Patient stable.
33: Abnormal brain activity detected in #014. Monitor closely.
34: Patient is awake. Initial evaluation shows worrying psychological symptoms including suicidal fantasies. Urgent, careful action needed. Patient placed under 24/7 surveillance.
35: Thorough examination cut short when patient became violent. Still, strong evidence indicates that #014 has returned to Despair state. Patient restrained to bed until further action can be determined. The Future Foundation strongly suggests a reconsideration of initial sentencing.
