Dr Seraphine

One of the doctors. Dr Seraphine Girard had tried over and over again to get Greg to say anything. He would always stare at the floor, mumbling, incoherent word salad.

But before Seraphine left, he would look up, meet her eyes, and then say “I’m sorry” in English. She would ask what he was sorry about. And then he would look at the floor again.

They had tried him on injections of anti-paranoia medications, anti-depressants. Anything that would bring him back to reality.

Nothing would work, and he wasn’t safe. What brought him in was that he nearly tore the head off a farmer.

He was definitely forensic. And when he said, “I’m sorry,” Seraphine couldn’t help but think something terrible had happened.
