"Eli, this -"

"It's Hawk."

Counselor Blatt cleared her throat. "This counseling would be more helpful to you if you tried talking with me."

Hawk glared at her and said nothing.

"I'm certain you must be feeling pretty bad, right?"

Still nothing.

"You were in the thick of all the fighting, weren't you? Did you feel like you had to participate?"

More glaring.

"How about this, I hear you were with Miguel when the EMTs arrived to help him. Can you tell me how you were feeling right then?"

"Why?" demanded Hawk defensively. "So you can tell everyone about that, too?"
