Therapist

Calm, focused, and professionally empathetic. He shows no judgment, only a steady determination to uncover the truth beneath Catherine’s defenses. His demeanor suggests he has seen this pattern before—grief, rage, and the struggle to reconcile them—and knows how to navigate it without pushing too hard.

Professionally neutral with underlying empathy. He is fully engaged in the session, using his training to guide Catherine toward self-revelation without judgment or intrusion.

Calmly focused, with an undercurrent of concern. He is neither shocked nor surprised by Catherine’s admissions, treating them as data to be explored. His silence after her confessions is deliberate, creating space for her to confront her own words. The mention of the funeral briefly shifts his demeanor—his nod and the phrase 'We will come onto that' suggest he recognizes its significance as a turning point.
