I know it's not. I think your concern is misplaced.
[ He chuckles briefly. ]
Okay, that is the why. And it's true. But it's not the how. He was recruited to it, because he was far and away the person most experienced with receiving therapy. He's not a doctor. He's a profiler. And that's because he called the police on his father when he found out his dad was murdering people, and he caught the most notorious serial killer in his world as a young child. And he wanted to keep doing that.
He was nonverbal until they finally found the right counselor. It's been an uphill battle since then, but he's fought it. He still has things to fight, especially here on the Barge, but he's trying. I'm walking him through what I can, with my knowledge on abnormal psychologies. But every day's a struggle. Always has been, always will be, for both of us.
...and that's true of a lot of people here, I know. Sorry, I got to rambling. But I wanted you to know where he's coming from on that. You can not agree with it or think he shouldn't be in the position he is, or that he shouldn't be dating me, but that's what's going on. We're doing the best we can. Which is kind of new for me, so...I personally appreciate it.
