Blah, blah, blah...God, heaven,. hell...as far as she was concerned, he wouldn't be in this predicament if he hadn't believed in that junk in the first place and this was no time for an existential meltdown. She forced herself to swallow her exasperation and take a different approach.<br/><br/>"Hey, I get it, it's a lot to process," she said softly, even laying a hand on his burly shoulder. "But here's the thing, what happens to you now, that affects the rest of us. And those group sessions, they were our last resort before prison, you know? And maybe you should be there...that's for you to decide, I won't judge...but some of us, we didn't do what we were accused of, or even if we did, our crimes weren't nearly so severe. I didn't kill anybody, Tim. I didn't torture anybody or set anything on fire...I don't think prison is where I belong. I have a good job, I contribute to society..."<br/><br/>As she spoke she felt herself becoming Phaedra Leitner, Mindless Bureaucrat again, and it made her feel nauseous and yet, Phaedra Leitner, Mindless Bureaucrat had years of experience mollifying upset customers and she could treat Tim like just one more.<br/><br/>"Here's what I'd like to do Tim. I'd like to get those chains off you, you don't need them if you're going to turn yourself in anyway, do you? And then if you can just give the rest of us a little time to get our heads together and move on, then you can do whatever you want. How does that sound?"<br/>
