Chapitre 25: Chapter 25

Reiner and Brandon sat awkwardly next to each other not knowing what to do. The doctor who was observing them could tell that there was something wrong with both of them. She remained quiet and didn't say anything pretending to be writing something in her notebook. She wanted the two of them to get comfortable and talk to each other.

Reiner had no intention of talking to Brandon and Brandon didn't feel like talking so they sat there waiting for the doctor to talk. Time was passing and the room remained quiet, the doctor realized that her tactic wasn't working and thought of trying something else.

"Brandon, please hold Reiner's hand," she said making both of them stare at her like she was a ghost. They didn't expect her to say that or ask that, Brandon started feeling nervous. What he was afraid of was happening, he was afraid of getting too close and now the doctor was asking him to do just that. The pain was too much so he hesitated in doing what he was told.
