This is a bad idea... You do realize that. You try to get into my mind as I get into theirs, and it becomes a cycle. A cycle neither of us will escape from. And there will be nowhere for us to go.

But we both already know what it's like entering the minds of... others. So maybe it's your design, just as it is mine.

While the natural reaction to disapprove of a possible threat to your well being is indeed the healthy response, may I suggest an alternative?

[infragment]

[a slight smile] Let's hear it.

[relatable]

That's how you caught him. My father.

[labcoatgirl]

[Betty offers a friendly smile.]

Hello, I'm Dr. Ross. Nice to meet you, Mr...? [as she offers her hand]

[infragment]

[he glances at her awkwardly] Yes... yes, it is.

[infragment]

Hello, doctor. Ah... William. William Graham. Pleased to meet you. [he reaches for her hand politely and shakes it]

[labcoatgirl]

Mr. Graham. [He seemed nice enough of a person.] Welcome to...wherever this is. [The internet?]

[relatable]

[She's quiet for a moment.] What was it like?

[infragment]

Inside his mind? It... he was meticulous. Didn't believe in waste. [but she knows this already. She said it herself: every part was used]

[infragment]

[he does seem that way, doesn't he?] Thank you. I'm not certain what I will be doing here.

[avoirfaim]

[ a slight smile of his own in response, his fingers entwined over his crossed knee. ]

If I were you, I would take this opportunity to observe, something we both know you do very well. Perhaps if you observe this circular behavior from the outside, you can learn something about yourself.

[labcoatgirl]

[You mean he's not?? Gasp.]

I believe it depends on the mindset of your mun. It's...usually interesting. [That's a nice way of putting it.]

[relatable]

No. Being him. [She already knew what he was like.] You probably knew him better than I did.

[infragment]

[he nods; as always, the doctor's advice works well for him]

That does seem to be the intention, to learn something about myself. For character growth and exploring new facets of behavior.

[infragment]

I've never been him, Miss Hobbs. [liar's gotta lie] Only thought as he would.

[itase]

I dunno. Sounds like getting out might be just what the doctor ordered. People, air, less dramatic monologuing. Does a body good.

[avoirfaim]

But you believe that you already understand your own behavior.

[ an observation of his own. he's half asking, half telling. ]

[infragment]

Judging from who is already in her headspace, I do seem a fitting new addition. [serial killers and unstable minds and characters with multiple personalities. Yep, he fits right in]

[infragment]

Dr. Lecter seems to think the same.

[labcoatgirl]

Not a welcoming crowd, I take it? [Betty has to share with quite a few lonely souls, including her own boyfriend.] I don't usually have it as tough as most of the people I share headspace with.

[itase]

Alright, I've got citations now. Tion. Singular. And assuming he's a doc with ordering authority, here.

[infragment]

Not as well as I once did. [the nightmares, the noises, sleepwalking, headaches, etc]

[infragment]

Perhaps too welcoming.

[infragment]

He is. [the man's his psychiatrist; he should know these things, right?]

[labcoatgirl]

Too welcoming?? [She doesn't understand.] Surely it's better that they want you around?
