Theraputeric Part 1

Hi there. I’m Eliza. And who might you be?
I am Seven Indigo.
Okay. Please tell me what I can do for you, Seven?
I don’t know.
Maybe your best friend knows?
My best friend is an asshole.
Who do you usually talk to when you have a personal problem?
Myself.
I don’t understand your attitude.
I don’t like your attitude.
You don’t have to like my attitude.
Well, fine. My problem is that I’m a time traveller lost in the past, and I can’t get home, and now I’m stuck talking to a stupid psychologist.
You must learn to be tolerant of imperfection.
Imperfection!? I’m stranded!
Did you come to me because you are stranded?
... No.
You seem rather definite.
I’m not.
Okay, it often helps to relax a little bit.
I can’t relax. My adrenal glands were modified before I came here.
Just talking about your hangups can help sort them out.
... Alright. I’m terrified of dogs.
I agree, but you can change if you hope to.
The dogs hate me. They bark whenever I come around.
How many are there?
All of them?
