1. First Session

"What do you want to know?"

"Why don't we start from the beginning? What's your first memory?"

"My mother. She... she used to... she hurt me."

"Why?"

"Because she was a crazy bitch."

"Did you do something that caused her to hurt you?"

"I wasn't perfect."

"Could you elaborate?"

"She wanted the perfect daughter. One that did no wrong. One that was ladylike and graceful. My favourite thing to do was to ride. I liked riding bareback but she wanted me to ride side saddle. It seems so ridiculous now. But when she saw me, she'd pull me off. She would drag me inside the house and use her magic to lock the doors. One time she dragged me around behind the stable. Daniel saw us. Saw what she did. And he walked away."

"And how did that make you feel?"

"Upset, obviously. But afterwards Daniel spoke to me."

"And what did he say?"

"..."

"..."

"... I think that's the end of our session. Thank you for your time."

"Goodbye, Regina."

"Goodbye, Jiminy."
