"Beecause after so many years of trying to help him..."
Doctor
"I realized that nothing on the earth can bring him back."
Doctor
"To the person he was before that night."
A painful silence filled the room.
Doctor
(𝗦𝗮𝗱𝗹𝘆)
"I think it would be better for him to go home...getting his treatment there."
Doctor
"To spend the rest of his life around you..."
Doctor
"Instead of spending here like a prisoner."
