"You're making it sound like you don't think there's any options after time's up here, so 'why bother?'. Just sessions with Doctor Samson, and you don't seem to think they're doing anything." Daniel tried to clarify. "I'm asking to reconsider that line of thinking."

Removing his glasses for a moment, Daniel rubbed at his eyes. He wished he had some answers for her. He really did. But he didn't even begin to know how to approach the urge to lash out or inflict pain on someone like she did, not when the concept was so foreign to him that he had a hard time imagining it from anyone else. Naive, maybe. Probably. It wasn't like the universe was always a friendly place. The Goa'uld and some Jaffa got their kicks out of doing what Eva did. So did some humans back on Earth.

More than ever, Daniel wished Jack was here. Not that he thought Jack would exactly open up per say, but he'd been in a very dark place before, back when he'd been ready to take his one way ticket to Abydos with a nuclear bomb under an arm. That and he had those years in Black Ops that he refused to talk about. He must have seen so many things, so many people. Jack would know what to say. The Colonel might not be entirely sensitive or comfortable spilling his guts, but the man had a talent for not letting anyone have the space or peace and quiet to drag themselves down.

Daniel put his glasses back on. He blinked at her, baffled. "No. That's not what I'm thinking at all." What was the point? It wasn't like you wanted to broadcast you tortured someone, especially if you had a son. Daniel couldn't imagine her spilling it all over the omnicomms, and Daniel certainly hadn't. Who else knew she was in here?
