Formerly KarmaMeter.She doesn't know who he is yet, because if she did she would have recognized his scent the first time. But she knows something is up.

Formerly KarmaMeter.Do you have to be such a dick, Patrick?

Formerly KarmaMeter.She's a pretty selfless person, even if that often manifests as "I can fix things for people if I just punch something hard enough." So yeah, broadcasting everything to the conspiracy would definitely be worse from her perspective. Besides, the conspiracy's first move would be to kill all of them. So, you know. It's like "either we die, or we die AND a bunch of really horrible people have a chance to regroup and decrease the likelihood of anyone ever stopping them."
Writing a post-post apocalypse LitRPG on RR. Also fanfic stuff.Did he? He didn't bring up anything he couldn't have known about through mundane means.

Formerly KarmaMeter.Broad broadcasting
on Patrick's part. And, Mega Girl must rush in...
That's a medical myth, Feral. Sleeping at the right time after a concussion is actually helpful. There's some other type of head injury you really aren't supposed to fall asleep for though. I can't remember what it's called.

Formerly KarmaMeter.How could Patrick possibly know what pictures Clevin has on his phone, or his motivation for doing so? Why would Clevin run away if he doesn't suspect?
Were it me, I would set up a trap, using Patrick as bait. If the bait doesn't survive the trap being sprung, oh well...
I know full well Allison would never do that.
I'm done trying to sound smart. "Clear" is the new smart.If Clevin is showing pictures of Alison to people with his phone, how you'd conventionally learn this is by speaking to these people, spying on him and seeing him do this, or by breaking into his phone.
"[To] prove to people [he] barely consider[s] friends that she has indeed let someone as unremarkable as [him] into her life"? That's just a really cynically-worded psychoanalysis meant to play on his existing insecurities, which any self-inflated jackass could come up with if he knew the aforementioned phone-related information. Patrick is only better at it because his level of "in your head" is slightly less figurative than usual, so he doesn't have to guess that Clevin worries about this.
With what we know as the audience, right now his reaction seems overblown whether he thinks his mind is being read or not. There's really no reason not to talk to Alison first rather than leave her with a guy who obviously has access to information he'd prefer was private. It seems he's just insecure and easily overwhelmed, if his wide-eyed reaction to Patrick's nihilistic speech on the previous page is any indication. It seems as though Patrick's hollow ruminations about a common expression actually put some kind of existential dread into Clevin. You'd expect a college student's mind not to be blown by such tired, overwrought rhetoric.

Formerly KarmaMeter.Your forgetting that Clevin lives in a universe that is known to contain telepaths. If I lived in such a world, and someone acted like Patric is acting, I would certainly suspect something. I might even guess who he really is (since his alter ego was infamous once).

It's certainly not for everyone. It's chatty, and the protagonist could be seen as a Mary Sue.
