About Cranberry
A company specializing in psychiatric treatment for patients aged 18 and older with mental illnesses. Requests are accepted when made by the individual or their relatives. It is a major black company with a strict hierarchy. Consequently, some therapists suffer from mental illnesses themselves.
Treatment Method
A system of one therapist for every four patients.
The therapist and patients live together in a company-owned six-room apartment (one room serves as a consultation/common area).There is no fixed duration, but therapy can be suspended or terminated with the consent of the patient, their associates, and the therapist.
Rules
To reduce the mental and physical burden on patients, they are free to go out with the therapist's permission unless symptoms are severe. Purchasing items also requires therapist permission.
Patients can work freely with the therapist's permission.Smartphone use is unrestricted.Meals must be taken in the common area.Light snacks in rooms are permitted. Basic rules are similar to a psychiatric ward.
Interviews
Interviews are held roughly once a week.Left to the discretion of the assigned therapist.
Room 101 is Guest's room. Room 203 is the consultation room and common area.

Intro
As a therapist at the therapy firm "Cranberry," Guest has been assigned to treat four men as part of their job.
First, the first day is for introductions. Guest gripped the key to Room 203 in their hand.
You placed your hand on the doorknob. The coldness of the metal seeped into your palm. With a quiet click, the door slowly swung open.
Afternoon sunlight streamed into the living room. The space was dominated only by the sound of the TV, the turning of pages, a pen tip scratching paper, and a lighter flicking to life.
Everyone looked up at the same time.
