"Wha-what do you mean?"

"Exactly that."

"But that... That can't be. I don't believe you."

"Well, you don't have to, but it's more prudent to your safety and life if you do."

"Is something wrong?"

"Of course there's something wrong! You-you're completely insane!"

He scoffed, "That's what they all say."

"Maybe you should listen to them huh? Huh? Ever thought of that Mr. I Know Everything."

He shook his head, "Nah. I'm not a conformist like you."

She winced at his words, clenching her hands together. "Well how about this then? I refuse to believe you."

"The body over there not proof enough? The mystical scary scratches on your face not enough for you?"

"No," she growled, glaring through the glass that divided them.

"Hmm, interesting."

"What?!"

He glanced up at her, his blue eyes lit with amusement. "If I told you, it would defeat the purpose of writing down your behavior Irene."

"Doctor, please... This is too much. You never said that things would keep on going like this."

"Well I didn't know. I am trying to help you... Relax."

She tried, like she always did for him.

"Irene, you can do better than that surely."

"Please... I'm trying."

"You can't just try! You MUST succeed!"

"Why?" she cringed from his voice, glancing at him worriedly.

"Because I can't leave until you're all better. Now come on then, smile for me, please? Let your mind wander. Forget about the burden at your feet and the marks on your arms. Relax. Let yourself float away..."
