Excuse me, everyone

What do you mean, 'why?'

[Seimei asks this gently, and yet somehow his voice has an almost frightening gravity in it.]

That's not a sensible question. You're here to be treated, aren't you?

[forever_jack]

[Glancing across at Naminé and already feeling bad for her. She always looks so little and vulnerable.]

What sort of 'treatment' are we talking about here?

[lvl100paladin]

We'll talk about the details in person. Jack.

[He tacks on the name at the end of his sentence like he's feeling it out, exploring the sound of it.]

It's not something for you to worry about, now.

[forever_jack]

[Airily.] Who said I was worried? [A quick wink at Naminé, to stop her getting worried.]

[lvl100paladin]

No one said it. But it's natural that you might be. With the state your minds are in, you must be frightened for yourselves.

That's what I meant to say.

[forever_jack]

[A sharp, bitter laugh.] Oh yes, absolutely terrified. We’re shaking in our boots.

[Moving across to sit beside Naminé and wrap a comforting arm around her. Whispers.] Don’t worry, it’ll be okay. I won’t let them hurt you.

[lvl100paladin]

Well, there won't be any trouble, will there?

That's good. Really good.

[lvl100paladin]

Oh. Is that your question?

[Seimei's tone does not imply that this makes him any more likely to answer it. But, after a short, low hum to himself:]

You're not here to be treated for something small. The damage to your mind is serious. Complete - your treatment needs to heal you as a whole person. To put you back together entirely.

Your daily sessions are small steps, but that requires more.

[Wearily.] It’s no use, Nami. They’re not going to listen to reason. They can do whatever they want here and they’re not going to care if they actually have a valid reason for it.
