*Hannibal walked in calmly, checking the chart of the girl he was supposed to be analyzing. Attempted murder. In a Walmart. Hmm. Interesting. He grabbed a clipboard and took a seat to wait for her.*

*River whimpered softly as she was lead into the room by two guards. She sat down and let her eyes wander around the room as she fought the straight jacket she was wearing. She didn't want to be here, it brought back memories. Bad memories.*

*Hannibal took her in quickly. She was just a girl, there was no way this could be right. He checked his chart quickly and looked back up to her inquisitively.*
"Are you Ms. River Tam?"

*River looked down on her lap and nodded. The frightened look on her face disappeared only for a second as she spoke.*
"I'd give you a hand, but they tied me like a gorram prisoner."

*Hannibal looked down to his notes and then up to her coolly, his voice dispassionate.*
"You tried to kill a man in plain view of the public. I think they are just trying to keep everyone safe. Including yourself."

"It wasn't my fault. It was, but it wasn't."
*River said as she began to examine to room again, but never looked at Hannibal.*

*Hannibal pulled out his pen and looked to her questioningly.*
"Why don't we start at the beginning then? Why did you go to Walmart?"

"To buy some tampons and lipgloss."
((Sorry... couldn't resist.))

"I don't want to tell you. I want to go. Before the trolls come out again, they have been hiding under the bridge, but they'll come if we let them."
*River cursed and closed her eyes.*
"That's not what I meant to say."

*Hannibal pursed his lips. It was going to be one of those days. He spoke calmly and with indifference.*
"If you aren't willing to work with me on this, I will be forced to send you back to your room where you can stay until your trial. Since you committed the act in public and there is a mountain of evidence to convict you, I assume that after it you will be put right back in that room for a very long time. So...why don't we talk instead."

*River looked up with big fear filled eyes.*
"I don't want to go back to that room. It's too loud! I'll tell you, but I can't stay here, it isn't good for me." "Stress is known to contribute to and trigger psychotic states. A history of psychologically traumatic events, and the recent experience of a stressful event, can both contribute to the development of psychosis."
*The medical facts came out in a steady and confident voice, like it was normal for a seventeen year old girl to know these things. She paused and continued in a much weaker tone of voice.*
"I went there to buy a present for my sister."

Definitely needs to be here.
*Hannibal was a pristine and smooth palette of blank expression.*
"You have a sister? How many siblings do you have?"

"Only Simon is my real brother. Shadi's isn't my blood, but she's my heart. She needed a sis, so did I. Then there was Indiana, she's gone now."
*River blinked a couple of times.*
"You had a sister once."

*Hannibal paused for the briefest moment, fighting to remain as impassive as ever.*
How could she know? It must be a guess. A lucky one at that.
*His voice was calm and flat.*
"And where is Simon now?

"Not here, somewhere up there."
*River looked at the ceiling.*
"I hope he stops being such a boob and is with Kaylee. And Serenity, Serenity needs him."
