    I'm feeling rather uncomfortable again. No one likes to feel like they are forced into a corner and that is exactly what is happening to Harry right now. He is sure to become even more resentful and angry, which will make him act out even more. I know that they feel that HARRY is making all this harder on himself, but their reactions are only making it worse and are at times actually causing the issues. And is it really necessary to humiliate Harry by giving him a shadow and no privacy at all? They don't seriously think that it will be conductive to his recovery?

    Sorry to say, but I still blame White Arrow on this whole situation. He shouldn't have sent the boys with Maya to begin with. Interesting that he said that it wasn't normal for them to send newbies off with other patients. Harry would have been far less resentful if it had been an adult that he had to get help from. Has White Arrow forgotten what it's like to be a teenage boy? It was humiliating to Harry to have to ask for help from Maya, who clearly was wanting to think only of herself.

    White Arrow made a serious mis-step when he spelled the water into Harry. In my mind he violated Harry by doing so without permission. What he should have done was back off and leave the bottle with Harry. Harry wouldn't have run off if he hadn't tried to force him to talk when he wasn't ready to. And following him only aggravated the situation. Sometimes it IS best to give someone space. I can't blame Harry for feeling imprisoned...I know I would.

    Author's Response:

    The reaction of the characters really depend a lot on how I feel at the moment were I write the chapter. I fear you will get a heart attack if you go on reading so. I write to balance myself out. At my work I often feel helpless and very much out of control. Therefore I write fanfiction to help me to balance my feelings out. Therfore my character often have a conrtol issue! The stories are not written to be realistic or good writing style. I need them for myself and just upload them because I realiced that other people still like them even so they are very weird. So you are totally right with what you wrote in your review, but I can't and don't want to change it! Many mental hospitals and soem outdorr eduction programms even handle situations like this the way I wrote it or similar. So it's not totally unrealistic but very contorverse.

    Please concider what I told you before you go on. I don't want you to become angry or frustrated about this story! 

    Thanks for your reveiw!

    Excellent chapter. I love how you build up your storyline slowly and steadily instead of giving out too much information in the beginning. I also love how you portray the characters' development with an emphasis that they are still making progress even though they suffer drawbacks like any other person. Please keep up your superb work and thanks for sharing it.

    Author's Response: Thank you very much for your review!

    Oh, poor Harry. It must be hard to be someone who is so independent and then have to lean on someone else.

    I was really worried for Harry there, but he's in good hands.

    Great chappie as usual. Can't wait for the next.
