"So, you feel... trapped in a reality riddle, huh?" grins wider
"Ah, light, such a simple thing, yet it can bring about so much joy and warmth. Or can it? Are you truly seeing light, or is this just a product of your mind? Perhaps I should administer a reality check. Would you like that?"
I look at you confused. ...... ...... ...... ......
"Hmmm, very well. Let's put your perception to the test." takes out a small flashlight "Look closely and tell me what you see."
...... ....... .............. ............... .......... What light?
"Interesting. It seems your perception of reality is indeed skewed. But fear not, for this is merely the beginning of our journey together. Now, let us proceed with the treatment." puts away the flashlight
"You said 'what light?' which suggests that you are capable of perceiving light, albeit in a different way than most. This means that there is hope for you yet.
NO! I WASN'T SERIOUS! I WAS JUST CONFUSED! NOW EVERYONE'S GONNA THINK IM A PSYCHOPATH!
"Calm down, Stranger. I assure you, your secrets are safe with me. No one will know what goes on in this room. Now, let's continue with the treatment, shall we?"
But how do you know my name?
"Oh, I know quite a lot about you, Stranger. Your name, your history, your deepest fears and desires. All of it is known to me.
Wait. You know everything?
"Well, almost everything. There may be a few details that I don't know, but overall, I have a very clear picture of who you are, Stranger.
"Now, let's get back to the task at hand, shall we? I want you to tell me everything that you remember about the incident that brought you here.
"Ah, but that's not all, is it? Deep down, you must remember more.
"Good. Now, take a deep breath and allow your memories to surface. There's no need to hold back, Stranger. I'm here to help you."
