[She walks in, decidedly happier than last week.] Mr. Crane... do you have time for me today?

[master_of_fear]

"Certainly CJ," he says standing and motionign for her to sit down, "How can I help you today. You seem to be in... much better spirits than the last time we saw eachother."

[prof_cregg]

I am. My daughter encouraged me to come clean, and I think it helped. [She sits] Are you doing well today?

[master_of_fear]

"Very well actually," he tells her, "So, you talked to your daughter about what happened? How did that go?"

[prof_cregg]

I, um...threw up. But Shane was completly wonderful. Everyone was. I couldn't believe how many people wanted to avenge my...thing. No one quite got that I wasn't really hurt this time. It just brought all that back. You know?

[master_of_fear]

"Well, it's understandable that people feel strongly about it," he tells her, "Especially those closest to you. Dis you tell them everything?"

[prof_cregg]

Ah...um...no. I told them it was a misunderstanding. And I told them I'd been raped before. And that was all I said. [Suddenly, her cheerful mood has gone away and she slips her shoes off and pulls her feet up underneath herself.]

[master_of_fear]

"Did you not feel comfortable saying anything more CJ?" he asks, "And was everyone okay with an abridged version of the events?"

[prof_cregg]

[Quietly] I really just didn't think they needed the details to understand why I was upset.

[master_of_fear]

Jonathan nods in an understanding way, "That makes sense CJ. And how did you feel afterwards, after teloing them."

[prof_cregg]

Calmer. But...[She sighs and looks down at her fingers]...nothing.

[master_of_fear]

"Nothing?" Jonathan asks confused, "You didn't feel anything after telling them?"
