Preface:
Aries:
"You disgust me. You are nothing," The Cold One spat.
"I know, I know. I am nothing. I am worthless." Aries mumbled, staring into space.
"That's not what I said! Please Aries, try to understand", The Cold One cried exasperated. "I said you disgust me. You are nothing."
"I am disgusting, I am… nothing". Aries turned his head away, as the Cold One once again disappeared into the darkness.
Doctor Morgan:
"You return to me, Cold One?" Aries asked, without diverting his face from the wall.
"I will never desert you, Aries" Doctor Morgan replied.
"Why? For I am nothing. Why do you waste your time?"
"You are not nothing. " Doctor Morgan corrected gently. "You are worth it to me! You are someone!"
"I know, I know. I am nothing. I am worthless." Aries mumbled, staring into space.
"That's not what I said! Please Aries, try understand," Doctor Morgan cried exasperated. "I said you are worth it to me! You are someone!"
"I am disgusting, I am…nothing" Aries turned his head away, as Doctor Morgan sighed and quietly slipped out of the room.
How is he doctor? Nurse Freeman asked quietly.
"No better" Doctor Morgan replied wearily. "Perhaps worse."
"Tomorrow is another day Sir." Nurse Freeman comforted.
"You said that yesterday," Doctor Morgan said jokingly, but with no humor at all.
