ABSTRACT

As previously arranged, Victor and I are meeting as usual today, even though Jorge is not here. When I wanted to prepare Victor for this change at the end of the last session, he had already fallen asleep. However, Fredrik has told him that Jorge will be away today. Victor is joking and calling out my name in a whisper from far below on the stairs and I greet him in return, in the same sort of mock whisper. His dad carries him into the playroom and puts him down on the floor. Victor holds his hands cupped over his mouth as if stifling a laugh. Fredrik does not want to disturb us and says that he will sit and wait in a room next door.
