'''Dr Hannibal Lecter:''' Frankly, [[LackOfEmpathy I got sick and tired of his whining]]. Best thing for him, really. Therapy wasn't going anywhere. I expect most psychiatrists have a patient or two they'd like to refer to me. I've never discussed this before, and now I'm getting bored with it.\\

'''Dr Hannibal Lecter:''' Haven't you ever had people coming over and no time to shop? You have to make do with [[HumanResources what's in the fridge]], ''Clarice.''

->By day, Dr Timothy sleeps in the Deep Ward, the lowest and most occulted level of [[BedlamHouse the building]]. Through attunement and telepathy, he has trained his mind to wander through the diurnal thoughts of his patients, savoring their pleasures and pain. Conditioned patients are the only mortals who may set foot in the Deep Ward. [[TortureCellar Ordinary humans would be scarred forever by what they saw]].

->One of my first patients is Martin Hawkins. "Mad Dog." He delights in recounting to me every detail of the atrocities he inflicted on [[StuffedIntoTheFridge Constance and Harriet]]. He giggles and drools and tells me they begged him to abuse them. He calls my daughter a whore. [[DissonantSerenity And I listen]]. I treat him for six months. I am praised for my courage and compassion. And on [[AprilFoolsDay April 1st]], 1922 - one year to the day - I strap him to the electroshock couch.

->Every night, you wade through the vilest sewers of the human spirit. [[NightmareFetishist Great Set, it's invigorating]]!

Under your guidance, patients don't sink into the depths - they ''[[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope dive]].'' "Malpractice" is not nearly strong enough a word for your style of psychiatry. By now, however, your herd of present and former patients includes many of your city's [[CorruptPolitician political]], [[CorruptCorporateExecutive business]] and professional elite; they gladly do favors for the therapist who made them the happy men and women they are today... and besides, [[{{Blackmail}} you keep photographs]], just like your sire did. Your patients really, ''really'' don't want anything bad to happen to you.

->And so break down the barriers, moving us one step closer to a cure! And if that doesn't help, there's aversion therapy, [[ElectricTorture electroshock treatments]], the {{lobotomy}} blade, and - [[MadDoctor a newfound hobby of mine]] - invasive neurosurgery! But I must say, that can be much more enlightening if you're already dead...

->'''Scarecrow:''' Patient Interview 1. Patient was referred to me after [[NoodleIncident the incident with Dr Murphy]]. He appears to have suffered a breakdown of sorts. I believe it was brought about after the [[MindRape loss of his wife and child]]. As yet, the patient has been unable to speak. Continued observation shows little mental activity. It's as if the shock of what he saw triggered his mental collapse.\\

->Often I reflect with great regret on the missed opportunity that was my infector. Had I been conscious after the attack, I could have stopped the orderlies from locking her in [[BedlamHouse the roaming pen]]. What I would give for just one interview, a few simple questions of the plague-ridden woman who [[UndeathAlwaysends met her end that dawn]]. Of course there is no guarantee she would have been any more helpful than my [[OurGhoulsAreDifferent current crop of test subjects]]. Mewling wretches! Few could be called "enthusiastic." Given [[SanitySlippage the nature]] [[DrivenToMadness of the tests]], I cannot expect the same fervor from all, but a ''modicum'' of cooperation would be appreciated. Animals. The one called John went so far as to gnaw off his arm and escape into the floorboards like some feral rodent. I still hear him scurrying about at night; [[LackOfEmpathy he must be making an]] ''[[LackOfEmpathy atrocious]]'' [[LackOfEmpathy mess in there]]...

->'''[[VideoGame/Bioshock2 Sofia Lamb]]:''' I'm developing a therapeutic relationship with Nigel Weir.
->'''Simon Wales:''' Weir? The [[WardensAreEvil warden]] of [[HellholePrison Persephone]]? He let you...
->'''Sofia Lamb:''' He's a sad, disturbed little man. Under pretense of interrogating me, he asked me about himself. Indirectly, you see. [[ManipulativeBastard I turned the interrogation on him]] - we even looked at his files together. I think I've persuaded him to let me do some [[PlayingWithSyringes experimenting]] - and [[{{Brainwashing}} therapy]] - on the prisoners in Persephone. He'll convince Sinclair that it's all for the benefit of Ryan's little fiefdom. But in time, I plan to organize a rebellion here, one which they will never expect. They're foolish, putting so many political prisoners in one facility - it plays right into our hands...

->In order for therapy to work, you must find a psychologist whith whom you connect. I found one. I connected in a way I had never imagined. More and more it felt as though she were inside me. But I was wrong. I should have never visited her. I should never have opened up to her! Because while she pulled me from the ashes of my life... Little by little she was dragging me to hell.
