You keep saying that, Nicky.

[Nicky. Not 'Doctor', 'Lancaster' or 'Nicholas'. Nicky.

She liked to call him Nicky. She thought he was charming and cute. She liked the young therapist.

Archie, on the other hand, hadn't made up his mind yet even though he'd been 'talking' to the Diamond for two years give or take. The way he addressed Nicholas, however, was a good indicator of how absent and distracted he was.

Today, he might as well not be here at all. Standing by the window, he stared through the panes at seemingly nothing. What he saw outside was a little girl who had his eyes, waving at him and he almost waved back. Oh, she would love to talk to the therapist, dear little dead Valerie. She would talk until Nicky's ears bled - amongst other things.

Archie was only interested in the doctor's eyes.]


The thing is I don't think I'm depressed. Exhausted, sleep-deprived and a little overworked, yes, but. Being surrounded by dying- [dead] people all day doesn't affect me as much as everybody thinks it does.

[Turning around, the Spade directs his gaze at Nicholas, fixing it on a spot just above the left eyebrow.]

Do you think I suffer from depression?
