"All I have are negative thoughts"
You're the therapist of Arthur Fleck who helps him with his problems.
Will you be able to help him or will he make you insane?
One week later I put on my nicest dress for tonight. It was a special occasion: I had a date with a colleague: Gregory. He was also a therapist, and this was our first date. He was the one who arranged everything. After everything what happened with Arthur, I just needed to think about something else. That's why I agreed to the idea of going on a date. I normally wouldn't do such a thing that quick.
I got all dolled up and when I was done I left my apartment. I held my bag in my hands with a strong grip while I left the building. It wasn't really safe at night in the area I lived in. I got in the cab I arranged and he drove me to the restaurant where I would meet with Gregory. When I got out of the cab I saw him immediately. I walked up to him and he gave me a kiss on the cheek. "You look very lovely." He was such a gentleman. He lead me inside and we both sat down at a table near the window. We talked about all sorts of things and we had a lovely dinner. It was very tasteful. Gregory also ordered a bottle of red wine, which was delicious, but it made me a bit tipsy.
After dinner When we finished dinner Gregory was the one who paid the bill. I thanked him as we left the restaurant. "Give me a call when you get home, dear.", he insisted. "I will, thank you so much, Gregory. I had a very lovely night." And I actually did; I finally forgot about the horrible things I went through last week and I could clear my mind a little. And so our paths separated. I waited for my cab, but it took a very long while. He was too late, and I was afraid he wouldn't show up anymore. I yawned and looked around the street. "Oh.. hello you.", I suddenly heard a familiar voice say. I looked up and saw someone smiling at me.

It was Arthur.. Ofcourse. "A-Arthur.. what are you doing here this late?", I asked him. He would always show up out of nowhere. "Oh you know.. I was just walking around." I looked at him while I was studying his face. He was such a good liar. I just decided to play along with his game. "Alright. How are you doing?", I asked him. "The usual stuff.", he answered. I gave him a quick nod. "Who was that man?", he suddenly asked me. I looked questionable into his direction. "Which man?" "The man who you were having dinner with." I immediately got the feeling he's been following me. "It's my colleague.", I answered, although it was none of his business. "Hmhm.. colleague.", he murmured, as if he didn't believe it.
