It wasn't before long until Deborah had her last appointment with Jennifer. Before she went back into her room to change into her uniform she went out into the courtyard one last time. Patients or variants are what they're now called were in the courtyard either playing basketball or talking to each other. As she scanned the courtyard she saw Eddie by himself with his head lowered. Deborah smiled and happy to see him again.

"Hey." Deborah approached the bench where Eddie sat and sat next to him. He was silent. Didn't look up. "It's been awhile since we've seen each other." Deborah's smile faded away as he didn't bother to lift his head up to see the voice that was talking to him. "Eddie, are you alright?" She slowly moved her hand to rest on his shoulder, but he slowly pulled his shoulder away. "If there's something bothering you, you can tell me. We tell each other everything, so there shouldn't be something to be ashamed of." 

Eddie lifted his head up to meet his eyes with Deborah's. His face looked inflamed at one part of his face. Something was wrong. "Oh darling there's nothing bothering me." A smile grew on his face. "Eddie what they do to you?" She tried to place her hand on his face where it was inflamed, but Eddie grabbed her wrist tightly. "Don't. Touch me. Whore." He growled. "Eddie please let go. My wrist..." She begged. He slowly let go of her wrist and never breaking eye contact. She held her wrist and looked back up at him. "What's gotten into you!?" Her voice cracked as her emotions had gotten the best of her. She stood up and had taken a few steps backwards. "Me? What about you? I have been acting like a true gentleman to you and I get bitched at for no fucking reason. I've done everything for you!" Eddie stood up and slowly walked towards her. "Tell me. What were you doing while I was gone? Were you fucking one of the patients like a whore of your mother was!?" He growled.
