Avoidance - it's a trait she's passed down to her child. And while it's never made the problem go away, sometimes it's made it tolerable. Facing herself is hard, and while Eva's never been a coward there are also plenty of things she keeps to the periphery of her vision, with the promise to herself that she'll deal with it later, or if it ever gets worse.

For once, she does exactly what Daniel tells her, with no argument or reluctance. She dabs the blood off her chin with the corner of her blanket.

"What would you have me do? I'm already seeing Dr. Samson on a regular basis - do you think if I bump it to twice a week that's actually going to change anything? Do you think I would stay this way if I knew some way out of it? I have a child to take care of, I have a husband who'll come back any moment, I have duties on this ship. I have plenty of reason to need to have my head on right, so it's not for lack of effort that I'm like this!"
