Concern

Carefully Barry put the now sleeping 21 year old young woman on the couch in the living room of the basement apartment. He had been given permission by his supervisor to break up earlier today, so the fashion lover could take care of Naya.

"What happened to you Sweetie?", Barry asked the sleeping blond-haired woman and studied the still troubled features of his acquaintance thoughtfully. She had sat in such panic at the gorilla's outdoor enclosure and cried - Naya had not responded to the woman's speech, which had kindly asked if anything had happened. It had been pure coincidence that Barry was on his way to the gorillasby the time.

It had been strange for him that he had seen the quiet shy woman so resolved - of course it had been Barry's first thought to take her with him - to take her to a safe place. And the apartment they all had enough space.

Of course, the fashion lover did not expect Naya to answer him - she should sleep first - sleep would do her good and she would feel much better.

"Sleep well Naya - then you feel better - I'll take a shower now and put those unfashionable work clothes into the washing machine"

A few seconds later, Barry had covered the sleeping Naya Kenson and left the living room.

...

"That's not good Barry - could not you call an ambulance or to a social worker?"

Dennis was sitting before the kitchen table, shaking his head. He did not agree with what Barry had decided during work. There would have been so many other possibilities - which the decision maker could have made about the light. How to call an ambulance for the woman, or put her aside for a social worker - if Naya seemed to have such problems - it did not have to be her - who would have to stick to this problem. Dennis knew that he and the others had enough of their own problems - they did not need another problem - in the form of a 21-year-old who also had DID and had a nervous breakdown in the zoo.

That's why in the time when Barry was in the shower, he'd turned on the light and wanted to convince the others of his opinion. It was not good if she now saw this annoying appendage and took care of a broken young woman.

"We'll just bring you home and then she'll take care of her own shit," Dennis muttered, tapping his index finger impatiently on the tabletop. He did not think much of Naya - or rather of any of the others who shared the human body with Naya - Helena was a thorn in the side of Dennis. He hated teenagers and Helena was one of those guys - as she turned it on - when he wanted to clean that unacceptable table top in Naya's apartment. In general, Dennis just found the condition of the apartment horrible.

"I will wake her up and tell her - she should disappear"

Dennis was just about to get up from the kitchen chair to put his plan into action.

"What wrong now Patricia? You have not even met her and her others and ..."

Dennis broke off in his sentence and listened to what Patricia said. He valued their views and their opinions. He grimaced and carefully removed his glasses - Patricia asked for the light and she would take care of Naya.

"I trust you - don´t let my trust turn out to be a mistake Patricia" Dennis muttered, leaning back and handing the light to Patricia.

...

"Thanks Dennis - I appreciate your trust"

Patricia smiled briefly and looked at the glasses - which was very important to Dennis. Before she would dare to do the housework - she would have to bring the glasses to Dennis Zimmer. There he would find her at a later time. Patricia knew the confidence that Dennis now held in her eyes. It was not the same view - that one should send Naya home. Patricia had not met the young woman yet and the nervous breakdown was a clear sign to the lover of jewelry that something was wrong. She knew that Dennis could be difficult sometimes - but he was not a bad person in Patricia's eyes - he was strong and Patricia would approve of him.

"I understand your concern Barry - it is important, that we do not overburden the poor thing too much and push her in one direction - or overwhelm her with questions, she seems to me to be a - nice girl to talk to - we need to keep her here, until she's better - are we all okay with that? ", Patricia asked, getting a clear yes from most of the others as an answer.
