Honestly? No. Death toll's annoying, but that's it.

[heyboss]

Hm, and here I was thinking it was a good deterrent.

[cactusy]

It probably is for most people.

The way you died sucked. Not gonna judge you if you're not okay after that.

[heyboss]

It did - suck, yes.

I'm - well, I will be alright.

[cactusy]

Sucks being the only licensed guy here, huh. No therapist for the therapist.

[heyboss]

I don't need a therapist.

I have people to talk to, which - is good enough.

[cactusy]

If you're sure. Just thinking about how it wouldn't be good for our only professional to go all martyr on us. Airplane gas mask rules, you know?

[heyboss]

Explain that one for me?

[cactusy]

Oh, right, 1950s. Uh-- planes in the future have oxygen masks in case there's a loss of cabin pressure. They always tell you to put your own on before you try to help the people around you, because if you're a mess--

[Guidelines that Shaw very often does not follow herself: this.]

[heyboss]

Oh. Well, that's actually not a bad policy.

Unfortunately I don't know many people who follow it closely.

[cactusy]

Including yourself?

[heyboss]

I'm aware of it. Actively working on it.

[cactusy]

Okay.

Glad you're back. And I'm glad you're talking to my inmate, too.

[heyboss]

Yeah?

I like Will.

[cactusy]

Me, too. I know I got lucky.

[heyboss]

He mentioned that you wanted him seeing others.

[cactusy]

In addition to you, not opposed to you. It's not a personal slight, it's-- I want a wider range of mental health professionals checking up on him at least semi-regularly.

[heyboss]

Oh I know what it meant, don't worry.

I enjoy talking with him. I'll keep doing it in whatever capacity he wants.

[cactusy]

I'm pushing him towards you and Kiryu, mostly. Bright's fine as a friend, but he's got some unprofessionalism red flags; this started because I didn't want him being the only therapist Graham was willing to talk to.

[heyboss]

Well, he and I started friendly, not necessarily as a patient and therapist role.

It took him a while to trust that I wasn't trying to hurt him.

[cactusy]

Yeah. It'll be good for him to learn that not all therapists are like the assholes at home.

[heyboss]

No, not all. But from what I saw, he has a right to be nervous.

[cactusy]

Not saying he doesn't, but I don't want that to be a barrier to him getting the care he needs from people like you.

[heyboss]

No pressure, hm?

I'll do my best.
