Bad form, no doubt, to try and analyze the analyzer, but Will couldn't help himself. "Perhaps it's an American trait, to attempt to push that idea of hoisting oneself up by one's bootstraps," he said, the corner of his mouth quirking up into a very faint smile. This man was obviously not American by birth - just an observation, for now.
But he'd asked a question, at least implicitly, so Will did his best to answer. "What I need is symptom relief, if nothing else. Three times in the past two weeks, I've awoken with the standard symptoms - sweating, an inability to know where I am for a few moments or more. I don't necessarily need to know why they happen, though of course, eliminating the symptoms may be tied into why they appear."
