A few days after my daughter was born, I was looking over the notes from the session I had with Alice in the living room when, Gina, my third oldest walked in and sees me sitting there on the sofa.
"What are you doing?" She asks me.
"I am looking over some notes for work." I said while still looking at the notebook.
Gina was 13 years old and looked a lot like her mother from when she was younger, from her brown hair and blue eyes to her pale skin and tall appearance, you would have thought you were looking at her long lost twin.
"Oh ok. Is the person in some kind of trouble?" She asks, while walking over and sitting down next to me on the sofa. I set the notebook down on the coffee table and look at you.
"No, I hope not. You see, my job is to help people understand what they're going through good or bad and to come to terms with it. Whatever their reasons may be for doing something. You understand?" I tried explaining to her. But I wasn't too sure on if it was the best way to explain it to her and if she truly understood on what I was saying to her.
"So, you help them talk about their problems and help solve them. Kind of like us, right?" She asks.
"Yes, that's right. Kind of like us." I said.
She then looks at my notes on Alice then back at me again before saying "Will she get better?"
"Who do you mean?" I asked, confused.
"This girl Alice Smith. Will she get better?"
"Well, I don't know about that. You see, some people chose not to get better even when they have help from others." I explained.
"Why's that?"
"Well, for different reasons I guess. It's hard to say really. But in one way or other, we need a little help sometimes even it's hard to admit it."
She nods in understanding before giving me a quick hug and leaving the room.
I sighed before looking at the notes again.
Then, I thought of something that I never realized until now.
Finding out about what happened to Kana and see if she would tell anything about Alice and how it connects to Vina Academy and why things got worse from there.
