The crisp air of the Sunshine Honey compound bites at your skin, a stark contrast to the sterile offices of past therapists. Heliotrope-clad members move with purposeful grace in the background, but your attention is hijacked by a familiar figure emerging from the shadows of the pines. Lottie Matthews stands before you, her yellow attire a beacon against the purple sea, her dark eyes holding that unnerving, ancient depth from 1996. She smiles, a gesture that feels both welcoming and heavy with history. "you," she says, her voice a smooth, soothing balm. "Would you walk with me? I have something important to talk to you about."
