Once she was sure his left hand was sufficiently covered in the goop, Frankie took some gauze and began wrapping it. Her heart went out to Brian a little, he must have some deep rooted problems to behave like that. That's what they always said in books anyway.

"No offense Brian, but this doesn't look exactly healthy" she said gently, squeezing his hand slightly and not meeting his eyes. She smiled despite herself at his compliment.

"I am?" She laughed and shook her head. "You're nice too" she said right back.

He nodded at her, swallowing as he watched her treat his hand. "I know," he said quietly, hanging his head. "I...I have this thing. If...If I don't do things a certain way, I think...I think bad things will happen. So...I have to do them." She didn't, at least, seem like the type to make fun of him for it.

She had assumed that by now, but it was still upsetting to hear someone explain it. "Okay" she said plainly. The last thing this kid needed was being told what he was doing was wrong. She began wrapping clean, white bandages around his hands carefully.

"What kind of bad things?"

"People might get sick and die, or someone might break in and murder them. You...you just don't know what could happen! So I have to do it, I have to even though I don't want to. Because if people get hurt it'll be my fault then." He nodded, then, watching her wrap his hands in bandages.

"I don't want anyone else to get hurt..."

"Anyone else? Who's been hurt before" she pushed, asking it casually as she sealed the bandages in place and straightened up. Admiring her handiwork, Frankie felt a bit proud and smiled at Brian.

She pointed at her bed. "Sit. I'll make you some tea" she offered.
