Ben went to visit his patient a few days after his episode. He smiled briefly at the secretary manning the front desk, but she stopped him before he opened the door to go down the hall.
"He's extremely irritable today, just thought you should know."
He gave her a slight nod to show his understanding and went down the hall while wondering what had the man all in a fuss. Ben put his pleasant smile on his face when he arrived to Huxs room. He knocked on the door twice and called, "Hux, I'm here." and waited a moment and then opened the door.

Hux woke up hours after Doctor Ben had left him. He was shocked into silence, remembering his father had been here earlier. He couldn't quite believe what he said. His mums death and the beatings had all been some sick twisted illusion.
He continued to believe that he was going home soon for the entire day. He waited...and waited...and waited for Brendol to come back with his Mum and take him home...But like all good things in his life, it came to an end. Armitage remembered it all suddenly. His fathers face morphed into Doctor Bens, telling him these things, lying to him so he'd obey. It hurt. He cried for hours and hours, unable to speak out of despair.
Hux looked up at each nurse that tried to feed him, but always refused to open his mouth. He didn't take his medicine until they held his mouth open and force the pills down his throat, even then he felt numb.
His anguish soon turned to hatred for Ben who tricked him into thinking that he'd be happy again. How cruel could he be?...Hux knew he'd never have a happy family....he'd be stuck with this mental sickness forever...constantly struggling to come to terms with what he saw that day.

The ginger was in the straight jacket as usual, muzzled like last time. He didn't look at Ben, how could he?
"Hello Hux, how are you feeling today?" Ben pulled up a chair and sat a few feet away.
Moments passed with no response.
"Are you not going to talk to me?"
Silence.
"Did something happen?"
"...Yes..." Hux responded finally only in a mere whisper, still not looking at Ben.
"What happened Hux, You can tell me," Ben said softly and smiled warmly at him as all doctors did when a patient talked with a wavering voice.
"Someone took advantage of me and my hallucinations.."
Bens smile disappeared. "What do you mean? Are you okay?" He was oblivious to what Hux had meant, he thought he wouldn't consciously remember.
Hux looked at Ben slowly with red rimmed, watery eyes. "Why do you sound so concerned...you did it to me...forced me to take medicine by pretending to be my own...father..."
Horror filled Ben. "Oh...Hux. I didn't realize.."
"None of you idiot doctors realize anything," He snapped with venom in his tone. "It's all fun and games until you hurt someone and then you start feeling sorry. You don't feel sorry for the person you hurt, no. You just feel sorry that your damned hypothesis didn't work," Hux growled. "I'm your little guinea pig aren't I? This isn't about getting me better as quickly as possible. This is to test me, to see what breaks me. You poke me with a stick until I snap."
Ben stood up and backed away. He needed to let Hux cool off, but his words shook him to his core.
"You're just like him. He never cared about me, just his job." Hux couldn't stop himself from crying now. "I-...I thought you cared. I thought...I thought my father..I thought.." he looked away, heaving a soft sob.
Ben never saw Hux cry before, not like this. The poor man was so sickly looking and he made him worse, not better. Guilt weighed upon him heavily. "Hux...I am so, so sorry. I knew it was a risk but I want to make you better. You don't belong here..." he knelt down next to him and rubbed his back. "I do care about you. I care so much about you.."
Hux wasn't having it, he looked away and sniffled. He didn't believe Ben. This had to be manipulation. "Go away. GO AWAY!" Hux growled, becoming hysterical, snapping at him from behind the muzzle. He looked like an animal out for blood, jaws snapping just inches away from his throat as he wailed.
Kylo escaped quickly as Hux cursed and screamed at him. What had he done to this poor man?...what would he do now?...
