The sweltered gasps of summer whispered heavily onto his cotton button-ups and tailored blazers. Inspiring as the warmth and light might be (what better way to flesh out the contours of darkness?), Chilton struggled with his composure in the heat. And the heat flickered in more than mere temperatured conception; there was the metaphorical heat of sparring individuals, his own psychiatrist's history of violence and Borderline Personality Disorder, the cannibalistic ghouls of his past (and future) swaying back into his (endangered?) life. The stress was remarkable, plastering itself in the crooks of his neck, in the curve of his spine. There were fleeting fantasies, when he wondered if Christine had the right idea: escape Heropa for something more remote, something more brisk. But of course, that proposition was contrary to everything he had worked for -- Frederick Chilton was now an Attending Psychiatrist at his hospital, with a fascinating flow of imPort minds to analyze. This was a system he had wanted, the structure he craved. The brief hiatus from work he had taken lasted only three days, and even that was wholly in response to Karla Sofen's physical aggression (and consequential revelation). A minor setback. But with newer patients like Billy Kaplan (General Anxiety), Tommy Shepard (Anti-Social Personality Disorder), Erwin and Levi (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), and now Godot (... in which the jury's still out), there was a cemented allure to remaining within Heropa's embrace. Not to mention his longer-standing patients, the individuals who suffered the verge of identity crises (his favorite crisis), like Doctor Connors and Kanaya. Not to mention his project with Danger, a situation that sparked new height of unethical relations. And certainly, his promised patients, the ones he was only starting to sink his fingers into their synapses...

There was no true impulse to abandon any of that. He savored every atom of that foundation.

The sun implored blistering antics against his back, and he weathered the heat graciously.

Connors was trying his hardest to muster up energy, to keep himself going. He wanted to simply sleep but no, he needed to get back home, he needed to get to his bed, then he could sleep. He briefly noticed how fancy the car was (good for Chilton for being able to afford it), before he got into the passenger's seat.

And...then Connors pretty much just straight up fell asleep for the car ride home. A+ job there buddy.

When the car pulled up to the residence, Connors finally stirred with unintentionally perfect timing. "Good God," he said, through a yawn. "I'm more tired than I thought."

Connors managed a sleepy smile as he nodded at Chilton. The idea of a new prescription...oh, that sounded wonderful. He staggered out of the car and, after a brief check to make sure that he had everything, gave Chilton a sleepy wave.

"Thank you again. For everything."

And, small smile back on his face, Connors started his slow walk back to his room.
