Was Michael being empathetic? Commenting on Torri's pain as she witnessed death, helpless to intervene. "I did what I could to make them more comfortable."
It was all any physician would have done.
Memories flashed on the time she witnessed one such 'cure' taking place. Her eyes fell to the flatness of Michael's desk. "It makes more sense than you surmise. I have no questions."
The meeting surprised her: Michael, in particular. Today, she viewed glimpses behind the iron curtain of his emotions. She saw a vulnerability and fierce protectiveness for those he viewed as innocent. Yet the cold way in which he described murder did not thaw him completely. Torri was glad to leave the intensity of his attention. What sort of life had he endured to live within so impenetrable an armour.
She intended to get to work immediately, if only to distract her from the bizarre nature of the work itself.
