“It’s alright, আপনি can take your time” the doctor said. She stared at the young woman who was sitting opposite of her and hadn’t ব্যক্ত a word since she walked in.
“I need help” Bonnie eventually ব্যক্ত with a small voice. The doctor nodded. “That’s why you’re here. Acknowledging you’re powerless is the first step and you’ve taken it”
“I’ve done horrible things” Bonnie ব্যক্ত staring at the desk. “And my victims will carry the scars forever”
“That’s how things look like right now” the doctor said. “In time it could change. They can learn to live with it, as আপনি should learn to live with the consequences of your actions”
“I’ve tried to apologize” Bonnie ব্যক্ত trembling. “I’ve never seen her with so much rage. And I’ve never seen him so scared. I’ve ruined everything, I threw everything I had away and there’s no way of getting it back”
“You wouldn’t be here if you’d really believe that” the doctor said. “Maybe আপনি should start with telling me what it is exactly that you’ve done”
Bonnie leaned forward. “I tortured someone. I chained him up in a cage, like a lab rat, and I put his whole body in complete agony. And his cries sounded like সঙ্গীত into my ears” she said. “Now, আপনি tell me, is there any help for me yet?”
