“Welcome here, Ms. Grey. Now tell us, what brought you here this evening?” Malcolm would ask her with his unnaturally calming voice.

She shuddered. This was probably on live television. She was silent for a few minutes. She was scared, "Why I'm here?" Sarah was speechless, until she admitted, "I don't know what to do..."
-
“What do you mean by that, Ms Grey?” He asked her with his collected voice.
-
"I need, a sense of purpose. A direction," she waa being truthful, "I've trapped myself into a cycle of grief and despair over Finn's death." She fell silent, again, remembering her dead husband, tears starting to fall down her cheeks. "I told myself I wouldn't end up like James.... but I can't escape."
-
The doctor was quiet, giving her a moment before speaking. “Finn...was he your husband?”
-
She nodded, as she began to sob. Her tears started to pour down her cheeks like waterfalls.
-
“Ah, it’s a tragedy to lose a loved one. But....would he want you to be punishing yourself so?”
-
She shook her head. "N-no."
-
“So you’ve come to that realization, yet you still allow his death to effect you. This is natural, but it is also a great first step towards progress.”
-
She nodded. "I see..."
-
“Now, you spoke of a man named James, who is he to you?”
-
"Dead to me. Dead for real. And a mistake to learn from."
-
“Ah, Interesting....Interesting. What was your relationship to the man, before his...expiration date?”
-
"I hated him."
-
“Errr...yes, but what has he done to deserve such hate?”
-
"He stabbed me... on multiple occasions."
-
“Well that would do it.” Malcolm would say. “Anywho, you’ve taken the first steps to overcoming your grief. For now, we’ll move on to our next guest!”
