| Summary: | Dan has been through a rough time with his recent expulsion from school and his father committing suicide. Despite these traumatic experiences, Dan denies that they affect him, claiming he is "fine". At the beginning, Dan appears uncomfortable, isn't truthful about how he's feeling and how he makes money (selling pot). Once the nurse is able to establish a relationship with Dan, he slowly reveals that he's been suffering from nightmares about his family, things that his father would do when Dan was a kid. Dan doesn't have any close friends; he has a lot of acquaintances as the "funny guy". He admits to spending a lot of time alone, that very little makes him happy, and he has few times he can let his guard down and make people laugh. Dan further describes a lack of appetite, that he has lost weight recently, stopped playing sports because of an injury, and is just tired a lot.
