===================================================================

[MHAS]: Joy, are you listening?

[JOY]: I'm listening, Dr. Hassan.

[MHAS]: Play back the nightmare descriptions you recorded in your sessions this week, please.

[JOY]: Starting playback.

[SGRA]: It's my mum. She's crying and telling me I made a mistake by coming here. And she… Her skin's wrong. Sloughing off.

[MTAL]: It's always my sister in the dream. She keeps telling me we're gonna die. All of us. She, uh… she laughs about it.

[YKHO]: It wasn't a dream. Nasir was there, he was right there. I saw him. They said he died in cryo, but… I saw him.

[ACLE]: All these people I know. Dead people, I mean. Lined up in front of me like a firing squad. And they're judging me guilty. They don't say it, but I know. I didn't even do anything… I just know I have to pay for it.

[MHAS]: All right, Joy, stop. Thank you.
