[Super addictive? That made sense...he'd always crave morphine after the doctors said he didn't need it anymore. He'd even stolen it a few times.]

...that makes sense. It's not like they'd ever care about our mental states.

[castitas]

I don't think that's totally true. [ She's... possibly giving them the benefit of the doubt. But doctors do care. They swear an oath and everything. Do no harm. Of course they must care. ]

Brains are complicated. Even now, doctors don't really know how they totally work. I think it's less about not caring and more about not really knowing what else to do.

If they gave you pain meds, maybe they just hoped it'd help the pain in your mind.

[solitarysoul]

Maybe...

[Maybe the medics cared, though many he'd seen had become jaded and he couldn't blame them. He was pretty jaded himself. The higher ups clearly hadn't...but he won't mention that. He's already shaken her up enough just by mentioning he was in the army, he doesn't need to burden her with how terrible it had been.]

I guess that could be it. Or all they had. I guess when you feel like that its easy to forget everything else.

wanna move to wrapping this one?

Maybe. [ Her smile is tight-lipped, but sympathetic. A little sad. She takes a breath and exhales. ]

But it doesn't have to be like that, now. It's a little better in the future. And who knows? Maybe we'll get lucky and someone might send us a therapist.

[ Wishful thinking. ]

works for me

[solitarysoul]

...maybe. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

awesome!

[ She nods, offering him a small smile. Maybe. Who knows. Kate falls quiet for a little while before she inhales, getting to her feet. ]

I'm gonna head back inside. [ It's pretty cold, and maybe she might try sleeping again. ] Thanks for sitting out here with me.

[solitarysoul]

[He gives her a small smile in return.]

Yeah. I'm gonna stay out a bit longer...good luck with getting back to sleep.
