[Therapy as a concept is not a thing that exists in Fódlan. Marianne's recovery from her lowest point has come instead with the assistance of her faith, friends so close that she considers them family, and the opportunity to literally face down the darkest of her demons. She considers herself fortunate and blessed to be able to finally look to the future and consider a life worth living, emotional scars and all.
Still, what happened last month with the Hall of Mirrors has left her a bit shaken. Her concerns at this point have less to do with the experience itself and more with her reactions to it. More than once, she felt like the depressed teenager she thought she had left far behind. It has her worried, and she'd much prefer to be proactive than risk backsliding entirely.
So here she is, sitting in Dr. Maruki's office and picking nervously at the edge of her sleeves. He says he's an expert, and perhaps he'll be able to use that expertise to help her keep going forward.]

Um, thank you for being willing to see me.
