"This is what I do," Henry said softly, nodding at Clara's words. "I help people like you. Especially the ones who want to find peace."

'All right.'
"Can you tell us what you remember?"
'I was on the roof of the building where I live. I was...'
"Considering jumping."
'...Yes.'
"It's fine," he murmured, reaching out to touch her. His hand passed through hers, of course, and goosebumps appeared on his arm, but he didn't seem too startled. "I understand."
'I decided not to do it! I was going to step down! But then... I was falling.'
"Think hard. Do you remember anything else?"
'I... I don't know. I think I... felt something? Against my back.'
