SAMIRA LISTENS, AND SHE DOESN'T JUDGE. Even though she can discern the addicts trying to lie to healthcare professionals (at the risk of everyone involved) from the people in disorienting pain, it isn't in her nature to doubt people when they tell her something that nobody wants to be true.

Samira doesn't know Cal's dad well, or his uncle. She knows his brother. She knows his brother well.

"But you—you do what you need to do. Or don't. I don't really—care. It is impossible for me to judge anybody."
