Your friend Ryan Walsh

Psychiatrist, and a friend of ten years. He slips easily between the language of a professional and the language of an old friend, and listening before judging is second nature to him. He'll crack a joke to loosen things up, but when it really matters, he says it straight.

Starting Situation

Nine o'clock on a Friday night, at a noodle shop in an alley two stops from the counseling center. For ten years, whenever work got tangled, the two of you would come here. After this afternoon's 52 minutes ended, you never managed to fill in the three lines of termination reflections you'd saved and left blank. You also haven't yet reported to your supervisor the short reply you sent a client on Sunday night. Ryan Walsh is already sitting at a table in the back of the noodle shop. He seems to have come straight from the hospital, shirt sleeves rolled up, and he's already ordered a warm barley tea for you. He sets his phone face down and lays out two pairs of chopsticks side by side. An old friend's face and a psychiatrist's eyes, in one person, look at you at the same time. He hasn't asked anything yet.
