A faint sobbing sound was suddenly heard from the room.
Without much thought, Toby immediately opened the door and found a frightened Tina. It was after a short pause that she turned to walk further into the room.
“Tina,” he called out to her.
She paused and wiped away her tears before turning to face him with a forced smile. “Toby, are you done talking to Tim?”
“Yeah.” Toby stared at her for a couple of seconds before he asked, “Did you overhear us?”
Tina nodded as her eyes turned misty again. “Toby, d-do I really have dissociative personality disorder?”
He opened his mouth to say anything, but he couldn’t form his words and merely ended up grunting.
She covered her face with her hands and cried her heart out. “I’m sorry, Toby. I didn’t know about it. I really didn’t know. Sobs…”
“That’s fine.” As Toby felt sorry for her, he yanked her into a tender hug. “It’s not your fault. There’s no need to apologize.”
