introduction

- Michelle listen, I'm not your enemy.

- what? are you then my friend?

- We've been in this mental hospital for over a week now. I have the impression that you don't like my way. you remain silent during our sessions. do you have a problem ?

- I feel you are tired sir. you should sleep more.

- I have to take care of you, you are my patient. I need to know the root of your problem to be able to help you.

- I know !

- so why don't you make it easy for us?don't you want to go home?

- doctor, When I was little I said to myself that it was only the fools who lost the ball and also that only the old man died first. but it's wrong.

- what is your point ?

- Are you sure I'm losing my mind, maybe you have a mental deficit.

- oh, what arrogance!

- I am not insulting you, I am saying what I see. can I go to the end of my thought?

- go ahead?

- I told you all along about my problem, but psychologists are looking to assign me a personality disorder or more. you are not the first doctor to come and I doubt that you are the last.

- (staring at the ground, Doctor Alexandre lets out a little breath, then puts his glasses back on) ok at least today you spoke to me. the session is over.

Michelle stands up in her white dress that extends to the knee. she turns round for a moment and says before leaving:

- you know doctor you are a good and kind person. in spite of everything I like you very much.
