“It sounds as if you are trapped in a cycle of thinking about yourself and how you don’t belong in the world.” “Sienna, if you prefer not to take pharmaceuticals, we can try a more holistic approach.”
The psychiatrist, to his great credit, remained very calm in the face of her outburst and offered a second suggestion. The doctor asked her a lot of questions, which Sienna had already asked herself, and then he prescribed a combination of amitriptyline and chlordiazepoxide. Nonetheless, they sent her to a psychiatrist. When she told her parents, they seemed dumbfounded, as they usually were by the strangeness of their own daughter.
By the age of seven, Sienna had read enough to diagnose herself with deep depression. Her joy, however, was short-lived, evaporating the moment she left the stage on opening night and faced throngs of wide-eyed media people while her costars quietly skulked out the back door unnoticed. Her performance in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream helped her feel a part of something, and the adult actors were supportive without being condescending. Her childhood passion for stage acting, she had no doubt, stemmed from what would become her lifelong dream of becoming someone else. She learned how to be a chameleon, a performer, playing just another face in the crowd. And so Sienna Brooks learned how to be a ghost. She tried to respect her elders, but most adults seemed like nothing more than aging children, lacking even the most basic understanding of the world around them, and, most troubling, lacking any curiosity or concern about it. She tried to make friends, but her peers immersed themselves in frivolities that held no interest to her. Growing up with an exceptional intellect, Sienna had spent her youth feeling like a stranger in a strange land … an alien trapped on a lonely world. Since childhood, Sienna Brooks had felt alone. Here, amid the masses of Venice, she felt a familiar loneliness settling in. Far more tragic, though, was her knowledge that his captors would waste no time revealing to Langdon the true nature of the situation. She had little doubt that his captors would quickly persuade him, one way or another, to reveal everything he had figured out. She could still see his desperate eyes gazing up at her as the soldiers dragged him back down the light well into the crypt. PUSHING PAST THE crush of tourists on the Rialto Bridge, Sienna Brooks began running again, sprinting west along the canal-front walkway of the Fondamenta Vin Castello.
