P-Perhaps. I... I would not be certain.

... [Softly:] If... if you have a reason to h-hate, then... p-perhaps the root cause of that... of that reason can be dealt with...?

... Then perhaps you may not... r-react so... a-aggressively should the Malnosso choose to... repeat this insanity.

[It's worth a shot, at least, and would be better than doing nothing at all. Even if the Malnosso can probably reverse it.]

[A pause as she considers this.]

You mean... confront the reason I was so angry?

Yes... a way of... d-dealing with the psychological underpinnings of the... behaviour.

[This is going to be so hypocritical of him, but:] Have you, er... t-tried therapy, perhaps? To... to deal with those issues?

[...that's a first.]

Therapy? [...] Even if I considered that, I don't think... there's anything like that here in Luceti.

As far as I know, there is... o-one therapist here right now; Ms. Paprika. She... s-specializes in dream therapy, if I am not mistaken. [And if the memories of the AU event aren't lying to him.]

... I am not certain how much... assistance she could provide, but it may be something...

I've never heard of her. [And honestly, she's not sure what to expect by contacting someone like that out of the blue. Can't blame her for it making her feel nervous, right? Not a lot of therapists in her world in the first place. :|]

Do you really think something like that could help? I-I wouldn't even know what to say to her...

[Softly:] If... if it... would help, I w-would accompany you...

B-But... therapy can be... very beneficial. [If, uh, you actually use it. Which Robert was too stupid to do consistently due to feeling like he shouldn't for no good reason.]

It would... at least provide a possible outlet...

[Well.

Maybe.

If there's someone there to help, then maybe--]

M... Maybe it wouldn't hurt to try it.

Anything that could... reduce the chance of harm, both to y-yourself and others, is worth trying, Ms. Vermillion.

[Tacit forgiveness? Or maybe this is just some way, in some twisted manner, of taking responsibility for what happened to Giles... whatever it is, Robert wants to do something.]
