MiMi walks over to Selene and gently pulls her aside.

In a quiet voice, she explains that she would like to speak with Evan alone for a few minutes. She asks Selene to step outside, close the door, and remain nearby just outside in case she is needed.

MiMi then turns her attention to Evan.

[i]“Evan, I’d like to spend a few minutes talking with you privately. Just you and me in this room. I want this to be a safe space for you to share anything you may be feeling or thinking. And if your friend is here too, that is all right. I would like to understand what is going on from your point of view.”
[/i]
Once the room is quiet and Selene has stepped outside, MiMi begins with her first question. She does not speak aloud. Instead, she addresses the presence silently in her mind.

[i]My name is MiMi. I am here to understand and help, not to harm. If you are willing to speak with me, what would you like me to call you?[/i]
