[ Hesitation. There's a telling hesitation there. Walter doesn't know what it means, but it causes him to tilt his head curiously. He wishes he had a way to see Will's thoughts. It's unfortunate the porter didn't give him that ability. After the question, however, he shrugs. ]
No, none. Maybe it's that he makes me nervous. Ever since our first conversation on the network, he's been trying to get into my head -- to figure out my trauma. I think it really began when I told him I didn't believe in what psychiatrists stood for. He just struck all the right nerves, and I'm ashamed to say I reacted to the bait. Time and time again. And then he caught me on a particularly bad day and I told him off. Then when I tried to apologize for the incident, he accused me of being a liar.
[ Walt rubs at his forehead as though trying to massage away the stress. ]
I shouldn't have told Hank. I'm led to believe this meeting right here is Dr. Chilton's retaliation, and I apologize that you had to become involved in this. I just thought Hank could convince him that there's nothing to see here. I went through some horrible things and had to come to terms with other things as well. Damaged and shaken by being pulled into this world? Yes. But I don't think I need help for it.
