Why should it bother her that he would be more severely tortured for taking the restraints off? It would be his own fault after all. And how would it make a difference if she took them off instead? Those outside of this room wouldn't know the difference. Sara kept her arms crossed, even after his offer to "persuade" anyone who tried anything. She was a doctor and had a reputation to uphold. She hadn't gotten to where she was by letting others fight her battles. She watched silently as the restraints fell away. If he was so concerned about her taking them off, why couldn't he just say she did it? Either way, whether she actually removed them or not, the patient would still be blamed for it.<br/><br/>Did she really believe all this? Or was she simply using it as an excuse?<br/><br/>As the patient approached her, Sara pushed these thoughts away. She would need all her wits about her, as well as her focus if she wanted to survive this. She already knew most of what he was saying, having written much of it down in his file already. What surprised her though was the fact that the patient wasn't trying to attack her. There was no way for anyone to see what he was doing, or even stop him so why was he holding back and acting almost...normal?<br/><br/>Sara stayed rooted to the spot, eyes fixed on the patient as he melted the door and was escorted back to his cell. It took one of the soldiers coming into the room and shaking the doctor's shoulder before she seemed to come back.<br/><br/>"Everything alright doc? He didn't hurt you did he?" Sara simply shook her head before picking up her clipboard and leaving the room, only to be paged to her boss' office. Taking a seat in his office, Sara appeared to be almost in a daze.<br/><br/>"He didn't do anything." She finally said after a few moments of silence. "Simply broke off the restraints, melted the door, and asked to go back to his cell." She had a feeling he would press for more details but there really wasn't much more to explain, however she did feel as though the more conversational approach may have been a step in the right direction, if what the patient had been saying was anything to go off of.<br/><br/>"Sir, I think we should try the therapy again, only this time maybe without the restraints." She knew it sounded crazy, but if they wanted this guy to think they were complying with him, they would need to try something. Glancing to the clock on the wall, Sara noted that she still had other patients to see. She would need to snap out of whatever had happened and try not to think about Patient 36.
