Standing in the sunlight laughing, Hiding behind a rainbow's wall
"I will." You say soothingly, your voice aiming to be as much of a balm as your words are. His mind isn't working, or he'd have pieced it all together by now, so you don't bother to argue. "They won't go looking, don't worry." They won't because that was my job, going unsaid.
You reach out as Finn tries to stand, but you let him try to work his weary body even though you know it will be in vain. Sometimes there's healing in letting your patients find their boundaries themselves. "You know what's happened." You say softly, rising onto your knees and offering your hands for Finn to take that he might try standing again. "The Climb. The infection." You won't lie to Finn, and while your tone remains almost musical in how upbeat it is, there is a cold shard of truth that runs throughout. Finn must have known what would happen, and it was done anyway. However in your mind, given that Remi is on the list of patients as well, you assume that it was he who gave this to your colleague, and not Amalia.
"Finn, we need to get you cleaned up. Can you try to stand again?"
