Grell Sutcliff has made major improvements in his health. It appears that his mental state is recovering, but it is hard to tell with his tendency to hide things behind the mask of his 'acting'.
Dr. Robin has suggested that I am the most likely candidate for Sutcliff to open up, and it is up to me to bring out the truth from Mr. Sutcliff. Unfortunately, I am unprepared for what this may pertain.
During the past few days, Mr. Sutcliff has spent his working hour with me in my office to do paperwork, and it is Mr. Knox that has escorted him out on his collections. He seems to be the same as ever. What occurred in the past month seems to be as far away as the day we graduated together at the academy. Nevertheless, I know better than to set this whole situation aside. With that in mind, it seems that at the present time, Sutcliff has easily caught up with his paperwork. There are no problems, and no flaws in his work. Yet, he had yet to start a realconversation with me. Other than the occasional flirt, it seems that Sutcliff has neglected to truly speak with me.
This morning, I attempted to break the streak of theoretical silence.
It didn't go well.
I asked Officer Sutcliff about what he did outside of work. He asked why I cared. I told him I never stopped. He told me that I needed to tell that to what I did to him that one morning and stormed out the door. I admit, I am not the best when it comes to…personal interaction.
Perhaps, Mr. Knox would be a better candidate than I for getting the infamous flirt to truly open up. The insufferable rose I've been tasked with having to tend for has overgrown with thorns and brush, making it impossible to get to the flower so far from my reach. I don't know how to approach this. However, I can only hope for the best.
