During the appointment, Holden would ask me to stop asking questions, rather harshly, though I complied. He would sit in silence and close his eyes, kind of looking like he was trying to sort out his brain. It was silent for a few minutes before he slowly opened his eyes. He looked much more calmer than before. I asked if I could continue with asking questions again, he just sighed and nodded. I started asking him if he has anyone in particular whom he cares dearly for. For a minute, he closed his eyes and reopened them soon later he answered. He answered with his little brother as the subject. I asked if he can explain why. He just looked at me, nodded, and continued. He told me that his little brother was really smart, intelligent even, he was really cute and playful. He smiled and said he was a really likable child. His smile soon disappeared when he said his brother had leukemia and died. I looked at his eyes and I could see the sadness in his eyes, he really cared for his little brother. I told him he could stop if he wanted but he just shook his head and continued, he told me that he always got compliments from teachers about how great a student he was. He sounded like a really good kid. He paused for a bit, I looked at him and asked if he was okay. He said he was okay, but his eyes told a different story. I could tell from the way he acts what he was going to say next. His eyes were full of sorrow mixed with a big of anger and regret. I insisted he should stop now, and he did. We resumed to our next subject.
