H: I don’t want to forget. I don’t want to miss even more. I don’t even know who my parents are now.

H: I know I have parents, because everyone has to have parents.

H: I don’t ever see mine.

H: I’m dying, but they never visit me. The doctors say they’re working for the money to keep up with my treatments. I think they’re scared of me. Not scared of me dying. Me. I scare them.

H: I’m not scary, right?

?: You don’t scare me, Hallie. You won’t have to be scared anymore. We’ll help you, Hallie. You’ll know everything. Everything.

H: promise?

?: You can make all your dreams come true here, Hallie. ⍰⍰⍰⍰ ⍰⍰⍰⍰ ⍰⍰⍰⍰ ⍰⍰ ⍰⍰⍰⍰⍰⍰⍰⍰ ⍰⍰.

?: 3 years is plenty of time. She can still help if she passes on early. The life expectancy isn’t a guarantee. We can keep her alive longer. You’re a good nurse, ⍰⍰⍰⍰, I believe in you.

?: she’s not too young. She’s a very smart little lady. Despite the amnesia— she’s still smarter than any other 19 year old I’ve seen.

?: giving her reign in the lab was NOT a bad idea. She understands what we’re doing. She is helping. She’s not just a subject— she’s a scientist now. Let her live her little girl dreams before she loses her humanity.

?: I’m not pretending to have a heart. I’m genuinely endeared to her. She reminds me of… a sweet pastry.

?: would you rather we left her to her own devices? She tortured herself and the doctors tortured her, too. At least here she’s with people who understand her fears.

?: don’t act like you’re above me because you mope about morality. You’re letting her stay here, too. Do you want to send her back to the hospital?
