Therapy

"Come on in, you can sit down"

"Thanks"

"No need to thank me. This is your appointment after all"

"Oh! Um… yeah. That makes sense"

"So what brings you here today?"

"I have some…problems, that I have to deal with"

"What would these problems be?"

"Right to the point, um, okay"

"Breathe"

"Yeah, sorry..."

"Let me start more slowly, what's your name?"

"Tails"

"Do you have an Occupation?"

"Inventor?"

"Why the uncertainty?"

"I invent things, but I wouldn't call myself an inventor, I'm only a teenager."

"Do you go to school?"

"No"

"Why not?"

"A lot of reasons. The world always needs saving or something else. Like a time rift or a dimension rift."

"Sounds like you've been through a lot"

"Yeah, but that's not the problem"

"Then what is the problem?"

"So how long will this take?"

"Only an hour sir"

"Can I walk around and stuff?"

"You can do any sort of activity as long as you come back or you don't cause a disturbance"

"Thank You"

*slam*

"Alright, Sonic. Just go for a walk. You'll be fine. Tails will be fine. Everything will be fine"

*slam*

"Hello? Oh, hello again sir"

"Sorry! bathroom"

*slam*

"Ohhhhhkay. It's fine. Everything's fine. Everything is fine. Everything is alright. I am okayyyyyyyyyyyyy…. I am not okay. But that's okay. I can be okay enough for Tails. Right. For Tails."

*slam*

*slam*

"Okay, walk… or run… or anything else"

"Sigh"

"Okay, so these issues have been happening repeatedly?"

"Yes"

"So what I'm assuming from this is that there is a problem and you won't tell me"

"Yes"

"Do you think you could have depression or something else?"

"Something Else."

"Okay then. Tails, look. We're not gonna get anywhere if you won't tell me anything"

"I can't tell you."

"Why not?"

"I just can't"

"Tails, now we're stuck in a loop with this conversation. We can't keep going like this"

"… promise you won't tell anyone?"

"Unless it's anything illegal, I can't."

".............."

"Take your time"

"Give me a second, this is hard"

"Take your time, please"

"Okay"

*slam*

"Hello, again sir!"

"Has it been an hour yet?"

"No, its only been 15 minutes, sir"

"Okay…Sorry"

"It's fine sir, most people are worried the first time"

"Thank you"

"No worries!"

*slam*

"Alright another run, just keep running. But also be back by the time Tails' is done. Don't run away. You can do this…"

"I can't do this, it's felt like forever and it's only been 15 minutes! You gotta be kidding me!"

"I really can't distract myself, at least not for too long. I really hope Tails is enjoying this"

"...….."

"Take your time Tails, nobody is forcing you."

"Thanks."

"….."

*sigh*

"Something on your mind?"

"No, sorry. Just a release."

"Alright."

"Okay, so..."

"Yes?"

"I feel like a girl."

"Elaborate on this feeling, please."

"I want to be a girl."

"Oh, gender dysphoria?"

"Yeah, that" Tails says "that" with venom

"Oh, is your family or friends not okay with this?"

"No, at least I don't think so, it's more of how big of a change it is. For me, at least."

"That is something to worry about. But If they seem fine with it, I would tell them. You have nothing to worry about if that's the case."

"I don't know… I mean maybe?"

*slam*

"Hello, sir! The appointment is almost finished"

"Thanks -… Sorry"

"It's fine sir, I've heard and had worse"

"Alright, thank you… so much"

*click*

"Hey, Sonic."

"Hey Tails"

"Would you two like to get another appointment?"

"Yes"

"What he says"

"Alright, I'll get that set up…. Alright! We got a few openings, we can call later to set that up!"

"Thanks" Tails stays silent

"So Tails how was-"

"I have something to tell you Sonic"
