Not much happened in our session today. I wanted to get him a bit more comfortable here before I move onto things that are too personal, such as the whole L situation. Here is my attempt to ease him into talking freely.
Me: Hello, Beyond.
Beyond: Hello, Miss.
Me: Please, you can just call me Kimberly. You need not address me as Miss.
Beyond: Yes ma'am.
Me: You don't need to go through such formalities here, Beyond. Just say ok.
Beyond: Yes m- ok.
Me: Good. Now, let's start today off with some basic questions. What's your favorite color?
Beyond: Red…
Me: Why do you like red?
Beyond: It's the color of blood...
Me: Ok, what's your favorite hobby?
Beyond: Trying to be more like L…
Me: …
-Another few minutes of silence go by—
Me: …What do you hate the most in the whole world?
Beyond: L.
Me: …What do you hold dearest to you?
Beyond: Once again, L.
…And then our time ran out. Yes he is making progress, little by little, but I think I should ask him about L as soon as possible. I'll ask him in our session tomorrow. Who knows, we could just make a breakthrough.
