[His entire life feels like a series of things done wrong, sometimes. It's going to take some time for Mello to reconcile this analysis with what he has always believed about his life, his experiences, the way he was raised and the things he's done as a result. He'll need time to think it all over thoroughly, feed it through the machinery of his mind, force the pieces into the shape of something that makes sense.

Later. He can do all of that later. For now, Mello inhales a deep, slow, steadying breath and wills the shattered parts of his self-image to pull back together again.]

Thank you, Dr. Sweets. I appreciate your input, and your time today.

[It isn't difficult to guess how hard this might be for Mello to deal with, and that it'll take time, and that's okay. He just wants to be sure Mello knows that, too.]

You're welcome, and don't hesitate to contact me if you'd like to speak again in the future. But I suggest taking some time to really think about everything, and give yourself a chance to mentally go over it all. Don't rush yourself, and ultimately just focus on looking at everything once again now that you have some more information.

[And in the end, he doesn't want Mello to change his view on everything just because of Lance telling him what he sees; it's more important for Mello to come to a conclusion that's truly his own, even if Lance's input might help--hopefully, anyway--in that.

And since the meeting is clearly done, he moves to get up from his chair; Mello probably wants some time alone, now.]
