73. Warn
Setting: Dr. Severin Javert’s office; Rouen, France; 2064
Gaston shuddered at the photographs. What scary-looking people! Dr. Javert said they were criminals who hurt others, and he would be like them if he didn’t control his “destructive emotional tendencies”. Whatever that meant.
Gaston averted his eyes. “A-am I really e-evil too?”
He looked for reassurance but only found stern looks from Papa and Javert. Maman hugged him. “Of course not!”
She turned on Javert, eyes flashing. “How dare you traumatize my son?! Showing a child pictures of murderers – ridiculous!” She grabbed Gaston’s hand. “We’re leaving!”
Javert whispered as they approached the door, “I tried to warn you, Gaston.”
