Doc did not try to distance himself from @@@@@ Doc did not try to distance himself from Walter's hideous suffering; instead, he suffered with himWalter's cries carved deep lines in Doc's face, like claws raking his skin It was strange to see such depths of compassion in a human, particularly DocI couldn't look at him the same way after watching him live Walter's painSo great was his compassion, he seemed to bleed internally with itAs I watched, it became impossible to believe that Doc was a cruel person; the man simply could not be a torturerI tried to remember what had been said to found my conjectures–had anyone made the accusation outright? I didn't think soI must have jumped to false conclusions in my terror I doubted I could ever mistrust Doc again after this nightmarish dayHowever, I would always find his hospital a horrible place When the last of the daylight disappeared, so did the helicopterWe sat in the darkness, not daring to turn on even the dim blue lightIt took a few hours before any of us would believe the hunt was overBrandt was the first to accept it; he'd had enough of the hospital, too “Makes sense for it to give up,” he muttered, edging out the exit“Nothing to see at nightI'll just take your light with me, Doc, so that Jeb's pet parasite can't get up to anything, and be on my way Doc didn't respond, didn't even look at the sullen man as he left “Make it stop, Gladdie, make it stop!” Walter begged meI wiped the sweat from his face while he crushed my hand Time seemed to slow down and stop; the black night felt unendingWalter's screams got more and more frequent, more and more excruciating Melanie was far away, knowing she could do nothing usefulI would have hidden, too, if Walter hadn't needed meI was all alone in my head–exactly what I had once wanted |
