[Velocity makes a noise into the toy again before reluctantly pulling her face away]
It's- I might be able to get away with it in the field, but I can't actively provide physical care as a doctor anymore. [Her voice shakes with shame and grief, and she isn't looking at him] Checking in patients or doing research or something ought to be fine, but- but he made it very clear that he can influence me whenever he wants to. What if he did it during a surgery? I can't take that risk.
I thought I could get away with just taking sabbaticals, but- this isn't going to go away anytime soon. Something needs to break, and this is it.
