“That’s okay. I’ve seen enough tv to know doctors don’t show you your file.” Robbie’s not sure if that’s true here, but he tries to be agreeable with most staff and isn’t interested in getting actual treatment from Jorgmund. “Arguing with your counsellor doesn’t sound healthy or productive.”

Yup. That’s him. Mr. Healthy and Productive.

“I don’t know. I wouldn’t say we were very close, but you get used to seeing people, you know?” This whole show of calling him in for grief counselling is worrying, because Robbie can’t figure out what they’re playing at. He wants to say the right thing and strike a balance between appropriate grief and not getting a follow up session. He just has no idea how to swing that, so he’s choosing words with a bit more care than normal. He’s more muted and less jokey when he speaks, but that’s all to the good, right? The man died - this wouldn’t be the time to joke. “One day, they’re gone, and you’re suddenly aware of how much you were used to seeing them. Training sessions will be different.”

He’s hoping for less psychotic, personally. “The people who worked with him for years must be so upset.”
