Pertaining to the Arrival of one Alchemist Crowley to the Happy Home Institution.
Long before the scribbled, maddened handwritings, Alchemist Crowley was a typical girl, shuffling her way along through school and work and play and all that which a normal girl would do. But there was one thing not-so-normal about her.
She always felt she was sick.
Oh, granted, sometimes, she was, but not nearly as bad as she would think she was. A cold would be her body shutting down due to meningitis, or something ridiculous. Eventually, all escalated to the point where Alchemist actually began to get sick. Of sorts.
She would have the symptoms, but there could be no sign of the real illness found in her, so it would be just determined that there was some sort of psychological portion at work that couldn't be detected with bloodwork. Eventually, Alchemist stopped leaving her house. Then stopped leaving her room. Then simply stopped leaving her bed, refusing in her 'sickened' state, to deal with the fools who wouldn't believe her.
So measures and steps were taken, and Alchemist was coaxed from her room over a gradual amount of time, trusting her parents, only to have that trust shattered as they brought her to the Happy Home, and signed her in, leaving her there so they would no longer have to deal with the madness that had overtaken their daughter.
