The city noise seemed muted as Liam exited the building. He had come to Dr. Robert Miller's office feeling like a tightly wound spring, but now he felt... different. The air felt cleaner, and the sunlight seemed brighter than before.

He remembered Robert from their school days. A bully, yes, but also someone who had apparently found a different path. Seeing him, a professional, had somehow unlocked a peace within Liam.

He took a long, steady breath, the coolness of the evening air washing over him. He felt like he could walk for miles. He felt like he could take on the world.
