"Help me understand why you claim you witnessed a murder. Was it to gain attention?" Dr Kimbott asked.

"Why should I bother telling you anything? You've already decided I'm lying. I know what I saw." Monday told her annoyed.

"Your life's had a lot of upheaval recently. It's okay to be confused about things."

"Don't try and lure her into one of your psychological traps." Wednesday seethed.

"No one is trying to trap you. I'm here to help you both process your emotions."

"Emotions are a gateway trait. They lead to feelings, which trigger tears. We don't do tears." Wednesday said sternly.

Dr Kimbott tried another approach "Tell me how you're adjusting to school."

"Sartre said, "Hell is other people." He was my first crush."

"Wednesday, Part of the reason your parents sent you to Nevermore is so you could find your people. Become part of a larger community."

"I like being an island. A well-fortified one surrounded by sharks."

"Have you considered your antisocial tendencies might be motivated by fear of rejection?"

"If you were to reject me, I would not be upset."

"You can't get rid of me that easily. And look, you two made it through an entire session without trying to escape. I'll take that as a win."

The cuckoo clock on the wall began to chirp happily.

The girls were exiting the building when they saw Tyler.
Tyler smiled when he saw the Addams girls. "Guess you decided to stick around Jericho."

"Wait, you see Dr. Kinbott too?" Monday asked curiously.

"You should know I'm legally required to be here." Tyler said.

"Uh, us too. Court ordered." Monday said with an eye roll.

Tyler laughed "Look at us. A couple of teenage tearaways." He chuckled before looking Monday straight in the eye.

"Hey, when you ran off last night at the Harvest Festival, I wasn't sure what happened, and then I heard..."

"Kinda crazy." Monday admitted "Everyone, including your father, believes I made it all up."

"You know, I..." Tyler was cut off by the sound of his phone pinging.
"Time to get in touch with my inner rebel. You know, for the record, I believe you."
