“When you sleep your face is slack. Your mouth is swollen and ugly....”

Alma

When you sleep your face is slack. Your mouth is swollen and ugly. You have a nasty wrinkle on your forehead. You smell of sleep and tears. I can see the pulse on your throat. You have a scar you normally cover with makeup there.

Alma I'm not like you. I don't feel like you. I'm Sister Alma, I'm just here to help you. I'm not Elisabet Vogler. You are Elisabet Vogler. Alma Repeat after me. Nothing. Nothing. Elisabet Nothing. Alma Good. That's how it should be. Alma I don't know what to say, Doctor. First her face looks soft, almost childish. Then you see her eyes... She's got such a severe look, I think.
