Maxis Grey


Grey checks in on Maxis. They discuss the nature of time and emotional tolls.


Transcript:
Grey: Hi Sam. I'm Doctor Elizabeth Grey. I was wondering if you felt well enough for a bit of a chat?
Maxis: Sure, Liz. Why not?
Grey: I don't really like being called Liz - that's was my Mum's name. I prefer Elizabeth, if that's okay? Wait. I just realized - Do you prefer Samantha?
Maxis: Samantha. Sam. Maxis. Doesn't really matter to me. What do you want, Doctor Grey?
Grey: I just wanted to ask you some questions. Truth is - we're all a little bit surprised how well you're doing after your time in... well, you know.
Maxis: You don't really know how well I'm doing or how long I was there - do you?
Grey: That was one of the things I wanted to talk about. We do know that time moves differently there... Slower or faster? Not sure - suppose it's all relative, really!
Maxis: I was there a long time. A very long time. So long I thought I'd never get out.
Grey: I'm sorry. I really am, but that's what's so unusual. Normally when people come back - they're more damaged. Physically and emotionally.
Maxis: What makes you think I'm not damaged?
Grey: The only thing we've actually been detect is the change to your eyes. I've never seen anything like it... They're almost 'iridescent'. Do things look different to you?
Maxis: I see things differently, if that's what you mean. Sometimes the light hurts my eyes. Especially if I'm tired.
Grey: Are you tired now?
Maxis: Would you mind... switching the lights off on your way out?
