During the hypnosis session with Bertha Haines, Amos Smith stood on one side watching the entire time.
His brow went from a slight frown at the start to a deep furrow by the end, gripping his phone so tightly he nearly crushed it.
Doctor Bell described it so vividly, not only taking the young girl back to her childhood but also making him "participate" from start to finish. Yet, he felt powerless over the young girl's plight.
Because, he is twenty-eight-year-old Amos Smith, not eighteen.
He doesn't have the ability to travel through time.
He cannot change her past.
Now, he can only watch helplessly as she lies on the bed, struggling desperately, her expression extremely pained, her mouth wide open, but only letting out hoarse cries.
In the eyes of his family and friends, he is actually quite a 'cold-blooded' person, but the young girl's ordeal suddenly warmed his blood.
"You are very brave."
When Bertha Haines woke up, she stared at the ceiling, momentarily lost in thought.
