Doctor

The Doctor is the woman you speak to at the start of the game, during your recovery at the hospital. You never see what she looks like, but she's described as having a husky and worn voice that you find deeply comforting.

She takes a deep breath.

DOCTOR: "Sir, you just spent two weeks in a coma."

The word bounces around your head. You need a moment to understand its meaning.

HOUSSINE: "Coma?"

The word scratches along your throat.

DOCTOR: "Yes... You were the victim of an assault."

The word resonates in your head: victim.

DOCTOR: "You are aware a serial killer is currently on the loose in Paris..."

You feel the contents of your stomach crawling up your throat.

DOCTOR: " The Judge  - as the police call the killer - assaulted you. The bullet touched your liver and, in most circumstances, it would have been fatal. We chose to put you in an induced..."

DOCTOR: "The killer the media are calling  the Angel of Death  stuck a knife in your right side. It hit several organs. To be frank, you were in a terrible state when they brought you in and we were obliged to put you in an induced..."

DOCTOR: "The one the... media are calling  the Sandman  shot you before escaping... You were deprived of oxygen for several minutes and we chose to put you in an induced..."

Her voice becomes more distant... fades... You taste bile at the back of your mouth. Your head is burning. You hear a whistle in one ear. Your fingers move to your wound. Underneath the bandages, you can feel hard skin. It is incredibly painful.

HOUSSINE: "Did they..."

DOCTOR: "I'm sorry?"

HOUSSINE: "Did they...catch... the Judge ?"

HOUSSINE: "Did they catch... the Angel ?"

HOUSSINE: "Did they catch the..."

DOCTOR: " The Sandman? "

You nod.

[ NOTHING SELECTED ]

DOCTOR: "No..."

« What about my passenger? »   « What about the cops? »   (Say nothing.)

« What about my passenger? »  « What about the cops? »  (Say nothing.)

 « What about my passenger? »   « What about the cops? »   (Say nothing.)

 « What about my passenger? »   « What about the cops? »   (Say nothing.)

DOCTOR: "He was dead before you even got out of your cab..."

The doctor is silent for a second - a very awkward second. She hesitates...

DOCTOR: "The police would like to see you as soon as possible to ask you some questions. After all, you're the only one who's survived  the Judge ... "'' ''Technically, you're the only person to have survived  the Angel of Death . "  You're currently the only one of  the Sandman's  victims who is still alive. "''  [ NOTHING SELECTED ]

Noise in the hallway attracts your attention. You try to turn your head...to no avail.

DOCTOR: "You need to rest..."

She leaves the room. Her voice resonates in the hallway.

DOCTOR: "I don't care he's the only witness... he's..."

Another female voice joins in - a strong, authoritarian voice. You can't clearly make up what she is saying. A strange feeling washes over you... It's not pain...not fatigue...some odd combination of the two. Before being in this hospital room, you'd never realised that anger was made up of a combination of pain and exhaustion. Anger. A feeling you know all too well... ... Days go by and a month later...
