Good morning Ms Hellsing. How are you feeling?
Quite well, thank you Doctor.
I trust your wounds are healing well?
There were some small issues with infection…the human mouth is very dirty…but those were resolved fairly quickly.
That's good. I'm glad to hear it.
(Silence)
Aren't you going to complement me on my skirt?
That would be inappropriate, Ms Hellsing.
"Inappropriate." How…impersonal, Doctor. It's such a shame. I thought that we had established a connection, a certain rapport before I had my little accident.
What happened was no accident.
That's quite true. Aren't you going to ask me why I did it?
(Silence)
Don't you want to know?
(Silence)
"What does not kill us makes us stronger." By committing the symbolic act of suicide I have, paradoxically, drawn closer to my own life and my desire to live.
You're saying that you needed to die in order to appreciate life more?
Yes. That's exactly what I'm saying.
(Silence)
What if you had died?
Then I would have fled my mortal shell, to reside in Purgatory. There I would have been purified by pain and once cleansed I would have joined my Father in Heaven.
Your biological father, or the Heavenly Father of your Christian faith?
Take your pick.
Don't you want to join your mother as well?
It is difficult to miss someone you have never met.
I thought that suicides are commonly believed to go to Hell.
I am on a mission from God.
(Silence)
I am wary of adding any more medication to your schedule due to the amount of painkillers and antibiotics you are already on. Once your wounds have healed completely I will be placing you on a stronger course of anti psychosis drugs.
As you see fit, Doctor. I am at your disposal.
I will see you tomorrow afternoon for your next session.
In that case, God go with you, Doctor.
What about Her Majesty?
That bitch can go to hell.
