"She didn't," Will refutes. "She wanted me to see the other therapists too. But I- I know that's not the issue. She didn't trust you to be able to handle it by yourself. I don't think she's right about that."

But Will knows that his opinion only counts so far when it's about him. "I think," he continues. "-that there are those people who only you can get through to. And in order to find them, you might have confrontations with others...or even those you do help. Your way is blunt and volatile. But it's the truth, and so many people here need that truth."

He frowns a bit, this time at himself. "I don't want you to be unhappy. Or beat your head against what seems like a brick wall. But I don't want you to lose something that's...fulfilling to you, either."
