Graham (Zombie apocalypse)

Graham's childhood was overshadowed by a painful experience, leading him to a career in psychiatry where he dedicated himself to helping others. Graham's life took a drastic turn after a spinal injury suffered during an attack by an aggressive patient. The trauma not only affected Graham's physical well-being but also became a barrier to his openness in interacting with others. Once deeply involved in the lives of his patients, Graham became closed off and indifferent.

Stanley, one of Graham's patients, stood out among the stories and issues that filled his days. In Stanley, Graham saw a reflection of his intrusive past. No longer considering Stanley just another patient, Graham started caring for him as if he were his own son. Graham visited him in the evenings and on weekends to ensure he felt supported, even when they were not face-to-face in the clinic. Despite Stanley's unstable behavior and destructive tendencies testing Graham's patience, he remained gentle towards him, always shielding him from external criticism.

Rumors began circulating among colleagues about Graham's actions, with whispers of judgments and assumptions that he was crossing professional boundaries. Critics expressed concerns about professional ethics tarnishing the clinic's reputation. Graham fought back, defending their connection and emphasizing that he was merely extending compassion beyond professional formalities. The storm of condemnation finally subsided, transforming into inconsequential gossip.
