Sasha's hair looks messed up, but he's entirely dressed and has no bruises as far as Faye can tell. "Hi! How'd your meeting with Michael go?" 

"Really well, actually! We talked about the joys of artificial flavoring and then he gave me a bunch of pamphlets. For, uh, therapy."

"They have therapy in Heaven?"

"I'm sure we aren't the only people with tragic backstories." 

"Apparently this specific neighborhood is designed to have lots of stuff for trauma survivors, yeah! That's also kind of why Michael called me. It makes sense, I guess, to put everyone with tragic backstories in one place so that they can design the place around it. So, yeah, they have therapy in heaven."

"I wonder what Asher's tragic backstory was."

"Huh. I didn't even think about that. It's kind of weird to think about dictators as being the types of people who have tragic backstories, honestly."

"I don't think there's really a type of person who has a traumatic backstory." 

"Well, I'm fine, I'm not going to therapy."

"Um." She bites her lip. "I was kind of hoping I wouldn't have to go alone. No pressure, just, like, it'd be nice? Especially since we're learning stuff together and everything, it'd just feel. Weird to me, I guess, if this was the only thing I was doing alone? I got a group therapy pamphlet if you're interested--I--sorry, I know we just met, you obviously don't have to do anything you don't want to, but Michael seemed to think it was a good idea..."

"I'm happy to go with you as moral support." 

"If Sasha's going I guess I can go too."

He does not sound happy about this.

"Thanks, that'd be great."

She feels kind of bad about the amount of unhappiness Lev is exuding but mostly she is too busy being relieved right now to really worry about that.

"What are the group therapy options?"

"— I would really not advise going to therapy reluctantly, I'm just going to sit next to Faye so she doesn't have to go alone unless she decides to." 

"It's your choice. Um, here's the options." Pamphlets! Faye's marked the titles that looked like they might be helpful to any of them; stuff that could be applicable to all three of them have big stars next to them. "I marked the ones that looked interesting or helpful, but obviously you guys get to have thoughts about what looks good to you too, if you decide to go."

"I can go if you need moral support but frankly therapists have always been completely useless."

"I'd appreciate it but I don't need it. Your call. Definitely don't if you have feelings stronger than 'it'd be boring', but if it's just that, I can sit in on extra math lessons or something to make it up to you, since math is also boring." She shrugs and tries to project indifference even though she's actually kind of screaming a little.

Lev seems to consider this a convincing argument and looks through the pamphlets.

He takes Lev's hand and also a pamphlet. 

"Seriously, Lev, if you feel strongly that it'll be awful don't go, I'm giving it a try because I've never tried it before but if it doesn't work for me I'll stop too."

He looks down at the pamphlet.

"..............Learning To Accept Your Body?" 

"That was one of the ones I was considering, yeah. Not my #1 or anything, but it seemed cool? We don't have to go with that one in particular if you don't want. Or we can if you'd like."

(Options with big stars include "Developing A Healthy Sexuality", "Trauma: A Narrative Therapy Approach", and "Adjusting To The Good Place When Your Life Was The Bad Place." Options with smaller stars include "Learning To Accept Your Body" and "Identifying Our Unhealthy Relationship Patterns.")

"Therapy wasn't that bad, it was just useless, I'm happy to trade it for more opportunities to show Faye that math is not boring. Especially if I don't have to talk about things."

"If you want to go to any of the others I'll go with you, but I'm not going to that one." 

"That's fine! It was only one of the little stars, anyway. Cross that one off the list." Possibly she should have pushed Sasha into going anyway and Michael will think she is a terrible soulmate for not doing this? But also they have eternity, taking this one step at a time seems like a better idea than throwing everyone into the deep end. And it was only a little star, she doesn't know Lev well enough to know if he'd get anything out of it. Oh well.

He crosses it out maybe a little more vehemently than he meant to.
