"Hello.

You've reached the direct line of Doctor Frederick Chilton. As I am not available at the moment, you might assume I'm quite busy with something pressing. State your name and business, and I will return your call."

I do more harm than good, I get people hurt. Defenestrated and shot and gutted right of me, because of me.

[slightlyoffchilt]

A readiness to accept responsibility of actions objectively beyond one's control.

Classic guilt complex.

[theminotaur]

Wow, gosh, I never would have guessed. Next you're going to surmise that that was sarcasm.

[ she doesn't frowny face emoji, BUT ITS THERE IN SPIRIT. ]

[slightlyoffchilt]

I'm simply asserting that your melodramatic dwelling and budding self-hatred is tiresome. And vaguely selfish.

[theminotaur]

LOL budding. You're cute.

What's the selfless thing to do, Frederick?

[ oh shit, first name. ]

[slightlyoffchilt]

Put blame upon the one man who actively and aggressively sought to take from us and reduce us. The man who used you as a pawn, the man who stole away your agency.

Blame Hannibal Lecter. Don't deceive yourself with his fables. How could you be blamed for his manipulation?

[Ironic words, coming from a manipulator. But Chilton, true to his own perspective, blamed others before himself.]

[theminotaur]

Easier said than done.

[ :( ]

[slightlyoffchilt]

Practice, practice. Or at least seek someone who could guide you in this routine.

[theminotaur]

Such as?

[slightlyoffchilt]

I can't give you all the answers, Abigail.

[theminotaur]

You can, actually, but it probably won't be a learning experience for me.

I don't trust psychiatrists, so I'm not sure who is supposed to help me along the yellow brick road to healing.

[ well. she trusted chilton, but now she's mad at him. ]

[slightlyoffchilt]

Why choose a psychiatrist? Why not a mentor of a familiar persuasion?

[theminotaur]

I would pick Will.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Seems biased at best.

[theminotaur]

Everyone I pick would be biased. I don't trust anyone.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Given your history, I can't really blame you.

[theminotaur]

So I'm kind of at a disadvantage with who I'm supposed to talk to.

[slightlyoffchilt]

There's a woman. Raina.

[theminotaur]

Your gorgeous girlfriend? I've heard.

[slightlyoffchilt]

You've heard. From Will, or April?

[theminotaur]

Both.

[ #honesty. ]

She's meant to be unbiased?

[slightlyoffchilt]

Do you have a better suggestion?

[theminotaur]

Is she qualified?

[slightlyoffchilt]

She comes highly recommended.

[theminotaur]

Of course she does.

I'll think about it.
