The 'jumping in', hasn't really happened. T gently peels away beneath it, but it's a sequence. Not a violent miss matching.

Maybe it's just a question of language, I think the words sympathy and empathy mean different things. I think I'm just worried that I'm going to go back and see her and that it is not going to help me, I don't know if she'll even be able to comprehend what I've experienced this week.
