Dr. N: Is anyone coming to meet you? S: Yes, it’s my friend Rachel. She is always here for me when I die. Dr. N: Is Rachel a soulmate who has been with you in other lives or is she someone who always remains here? S: (with some indignation) She doesn’t always stay here. No, she is with me a lot—in my mind—when I need her. She is my own guardian. (said with possessive pride)
