CUDDLY SNAKES

[ In this isolated chamber, there are enough chairs around the rickety, rotten wooden desk to seat everybody. Some sunlight streams through the boarded windows to give enough light. You have pencils, pens, some scrap paper to brainstorm with, and a formal test sheet to put your final answers on. ]

[Returning from going to question Sepsis on whether that is in fact the case!]

Yeah, it seems this is the whole game, and she's not planning to hurt us afterwards. So let's not hold ourselves back.

[Settling down to make some more notes on scrap paper.]

Then, three and four we can come up with extreme answers for...and since Sparrow already answered five and you've got an idea for two, all that leaves is one.

Is that when you make an oath to someone else, but then turn around and break it when they're not looking?

That's got nothing to do with medicine, though.

...I think it has to do with doctors, not hypocrites.

Yeah, that seems most likely.

The question is, what sort of oath would a doctor swear? To help people? To cure sickness?

I think they've got some kind of rule where they have to promise not to hurt people. That might be it.

That would be a good thing to hold doctors to, at least.

I wonder if this Sepsis follows it.

Wouldn't causing illness mean she doesn't?

She does that?

How twisted. She's no doctor at all.

Well, with a name like Sepsis...

Tch, you can't judge people by their names. I'm not white and fluffy, after all.

You do have white hair, though...

It wasn't always white. It was orange once.

I mean--

[Quickly shutting his mouth.]

[ ...That's an odd reaction. ]

Orange? Well, either way, it's white now.

Uh.. to always help people that are in need, I think.

If we combine the ideas....then, to always help people in need, and to never harm anyone in the process?

[nods!]

Let's do that. Both of them seem like good things for a doctor.

I agree. Otherwise, going to a doctor could be quite dangerous.
