Beyond came in again today. I decided to try and pry the information about L from him.
Me: Hello, Beyond. How are you today?
Beyond: OK, I guess. I'm in a loony-bin, how good can I possibly feel?
Me: Oh, don't be that way. Anyways, is there something you would like to get off of your chest?
Beyond: No.
Me: Are you sure? There's not anything at all that you want to say?
Beyond: The food here sucks.
Me: …Not exactly what I meant.
Beyond: Hmph. –crosses his arms-
Me: You're awfully stubborn today. You've been mentioning someone named L. Can you tell me about him?
Beyond proceeded to tell me about his and L's past, but it was much too long to document here. I won't lie; it was probably the most heart-wrenching thing I've heard since that one little girl I treated last October.
Me: Thank you for telling me. We seem to be out of time for today.
Beyond: Goodbye, Kimberly.
He left, and I think I may be able to help him with a few of his issues now that I know a bit of backstory. Hopefully I can help him work things out. Hopefully.
