Chapels calmed Maya, but unfortunately, a chapel in the place she was imprisoned wasn't much relief at all. For one thing, to reach the chapel she had to pass a hall that she had recently seen coated with blood, and it brought too readily to mind the most recent scene in the entry room.
And now the good doctor was threatening them all with it. He was being inscrutable as usual, then; he had a method of forcing all the patients to lose consciousness so there was no reason he couldn't just do it if it struck his fancy. It had been the General who had wanted the patients to perform for him; the doctor merely made threats and didn't bother to explain why. Business as usual for him.
"Long night?" Maya said wearily as she took a seat next to the man. She didn't much care if he was hurting himself or not (humans did the silliest things), but she didn't like the thought that the head overlord Landel was watching and taking sadistic glee in the patients' actions. Unfortunately, there wasn't much Maya could do. "Do you need a hug?" she said as sincerely as possible, which meant it didn't sound sincere at all.
