Walk A Mile: Epilogue (Nexus LOL Conclusion)

[workthroughit]

While these meetings would perhaps suggest the formality of his desk, Dr. Hill instead is strolling through the Nexus, smiling as he watches the snowflakes drift down from the sky. A take-away cup is held in both his hands, the drink gently steaming.

He seems content to just wander for a time, more interested in his coffee and the falling snow than addressing anyone just yet. The psychoanalyst seems perfectly unaware how bizarre his previous appearance ended up being, or that his prolonged absence since then was also sorely noted. Unaware or uncaring.

Finally, after one last sip of coffee, he simply asks, tone light and conversational: "Well? What did we learn?"

Awareness returns. Senses fade and others replace it. Emotions dull and become blunted. And with a human crying, she acted naturally, moving closer to Audrey, to comfort her without thought.

Audrey's eyes, still brimming with tears, widen as she lashes out with her feet at the Doll. She can't at least grab for her pick or swing a punch on account of the man holding her arms being all that's keeping her upright. "Nnnn! N-Nno! No! Away! Away from me!"

The Doll recoils, the visceral reaction of Audrey being something she was wasn't really used to. She steps away, giving Audrey her space but yet can't bring herself to truly leave her. She was not a hunter but she needed succor. She needed to help her. Needed to serve.


"I...am sorry..." she whispers, voice tinged with pity.

Dr. Hill frowns sadly at this turn of events. "It's...likely just shock. Give her time to adjust back to being herself and maybe things can be made right.

"But in the meantime, perhaps distance is what's needed..." Likely a kind a way as possible to indicate the Doll should make herself scarce. He says so apologetically.
