Pat Montesian's drop-in transcripts

quote

‘I’m awful sorry to bother. I can come back. I was wondering if maybe there was any special Program prayer for when you want to hang yourself.’

Context

One complete drop-in from Pat's Wednesday resident-interface hours — an entire suicide crisis rendered as a polite scheduling question. The book's flattest suicide line, and the House's ambient despair in a single snippet. (Speaker unnamed; the transcript voices are designedly attributable to more than one resident.)
