Anatole is undergoing psychotherapy because he suffers from a very specific phobia: he is anatidaephobic. What is Anatidaephobia?
It's "the fear that somewhere, somehow, a duck is watching you".
Anatole has recently developed this phobia. Nobody believes him. No one listens to him. It's disrupting his love life, his family life and his professional life. In short, it's "ruining" his life!
There's only one solution: Kill the duck!
