[Setting: The dark room. Jefferson is standing behind the computer screen looking at it wistfully. When he sees the viewer looking at him he approaches them, sitting on the couch opposite.]

Jefferson: Hello. And how are we feeling?

Jefferson: It seems we hardly scratched the surface in our last session. So let's go a bit deeper this time... This time we are going to try to understand the root of your anxiety.

Jefferson: Needles... Storms... And, the dark. That's some combination! Sounds like a good Friday night! Ah... Well I'm afraid once again we're out of time... But I promise we will talk again very soon.
