"I've crossed paths with Shawn before. He's incredibly talented. It would be a tragedy if he lost the use of his hands. I want to help him." Orla sighed, feigning concern for Shawn: "But as Mr. Atticus mentioned, the miracle cure comes with conditions..." "Enough." Mr. Atticus, clearly irritated, cut her off: "What exactly do you want?"

Whatever conditions Mr. Atticus has, he can discuss them with me. No need to burden a young lady," Dr. Ray stepped forward. "Where is Mr. Atticus? I can speak to him directly." Miguel quickly added, "I'm Shawn's father. Whatever conditions you have, I can meet them!" Orla shook her head apologetically: "It's not that I don't want to help, but Mr. Atticus insists on dealing only with Flora. He isn't interested in anyone else."
