This Vitor Silveira was rather annoying in his attitudes towards therapy, choosing to see it as a stand-up routine rather than a serious investigation of his mental health.
Jashkaa: ::pursing her lips at the response:: Anyway, about this loss. ::she didn’t need to look up his file, she’d committed it to memory:: Jovenan. Tell me about her. And not the facts, I can look those up. Tell me what isn’t in the file.
His posture changed. The grin was finally replaced by a serious expression and he put down the glass, before folding his arms across his chest. Jashkaa tried not to let her relief show on her face.
Silveira: What can I say? That she was beautiful, intelligent and kind? That whatever pulled us together in that moment we shared impacted me deeply? That…
Vitor paused, clearly upset. He uncrossed his legs, leaning forward. Looking straight at Jashkaa he reached for the glass of water and took a long sip. Staring at the glass he continued, after a moment more of silence. Was this the breakthrough she’d been looking for?
Silveira: That this time, more than any before, I fear I might lose control of my emotions and…
She let that pause hang there for a moment.
Jashkaa: And…?
Vitor played with the glass in his hand for a second before setting it down, then straightening himself on the seat and looking at Jashkaa. She met his gaze calmly but said nothing. He blinked and took a deep breath before replying.
Silveira: And tear everything apart, just to try and ease the pain, guilt and anger. Just set this universe on fire, everything, everyone. And the next. And all universes in between hers and mine.
Vitor stared back at the glass, breaking his eye contact with Jashkaa. She didn’t say anything, didn’t dare move a muscle as the man offloaded his emotions at last.
Silveira: This might not be exactly what you meant, but it certainly isn't on file. Talking about Jo makes me realise that I will never have the chance to truly know who she was. And that brings up a lot of boiling emotions that I am still trying to navigate.
Jashkaa: Boiling emotions? Do you mean anger, sadness, or something else?
Silveira: Response
Jashkaa pursed her lips as she regarded him for a second before replying.
Jashka: And why do you not want to feel those emotions, what are you worried might happen?
Silveira: Response

"You know, I'm really easy to get along with most of the time, but I don't like bullies and I don't like threats, and I don't like you, Culluh. You can try and stop us from getting to the truth but I promise you that if you do I will respond with all the 'unique technologies' at my command." - Kathryn Janeway
