Is there something you should tell me, but don't necessarily want to?

No.

...very well. [ For now, suspect Hobbs#2. ] How are your doctors treating you?

[honorher]

Fine. They're kind.

Dr. Bloom thinks I should share more in group.

Group therapy is often prescribed to patients in a more advanced stage of recovery. Maybe the good doctor has... overestimated your ability.

[honorher]

Or underestimated it.

You're a minor, a girl, and an orphan. Statistically, your chances of walking away emotionally unscarred without significant treatment are minimal. You understand that.

[honorher]

[But yes, she understands it. She's broken, abnormal, a freak. She'll never forget it, Crawford, don't worry.]
