#stockholm styndrome

After a violent kidnapping, your character wakes up with amnesia. They’re sick and injured but the person who ‘rescued’ them seams so nice... 

Except they just keep making your character worse and worse - never truly healing them or making them better. Perhaps every now and then, they reopen wounds; re-break bones and feed them something that makes them purposefully sick. 

It takes your character a shameful amount of time to realise something is wrong… but the caretaker is looking after them so well, and is so considerate - maybe they are getting better, just slowly? 

However, the secret gets revealed when your characters condition turns dire, (perhaps after an infection/incorrect dosage) and the caretaker is forced to take them to the hospital. 

The staff immediately recognise them as a missing person. 

When they go to confront your character, the caretaker is there, pulling out wires and tubes - your characters pulse and oxygen alarms blare. 

“You’re making them worse!” They cry, convinced they are the only person allowed to be your characters doctor.
