catherine deane takes her job very seriously and while she should often wonder if it’s good for her health, she ignores that in favor of her particular talent to communicate with children or troubled individuals who can’t be helped by anyone else or, in the case of her job, individuals who can’t interact because of comatose states etc.

catherine is a child psychologist, and the work she does with the Neurological Cartography and Synaptic Transfer System allows her to enter the mind of a comatose patient and interact with their headscape in order to hopefully awaken them. she’s told many times that she ‘despite being the least qualified, was chosen because she has an extremely unique gift with the interactions’. ‘mr. e’ aka edward baines, a young boy suffering the effects of a viral schizophrenic illness that attacked his brain and left him comatose, is her first patient. catherine is eventually capable of reverse engineering the technology to bring him into her mind. his parents are the ones funding the entire experimental treatments.

she’s brought a serial killer by the fbi— carl stargher— a man who has been direly abused and grown up to inflict different methods of murder on his victims. he’s given to her because he also suffers from the same aggressive infection mr. e does, and catherine has a specialty in this. her first instinct is to try to get to know him and nurture his childhood self, and to fearlessly try to face his world of nightmares built by severe abuse. the end result with stargher was death— catherine drowning his childhood self as a merciful act once he’d forgotten there was an outside world beyond their mindscapes. catherine has never truly put stargher out of her head, and while she doesn’t blame herself or feel guilt about his death (and her having caused it), she feels for him on a regular basis. she’ll light a candle for him in church, and she’ll think about him all the time. she carries him in her heart, in spite of herself. she carries everyone she treats. she sees the sides of people others don’t— literally and figuratively— and knows exactly how to take both as they are, the ugly and the beautiful.

and that’s catherine deane.
