[Not long after this post from the Malnosso's new therapist, there is a huge racket going on at the Welcome Center. His rage at the thought of being taken to therapy and his instability in Luceti has gone over the edge and Walter is screaming and throwing chairs and bed mattresses, lamps and anything else he can get his hands on. The tirade is caught on video as he throws his journal across the room, smashing it into the wall and jolting it on. It shows him upside down.]

I will not go! They can't make me!

Peter! Peter!! [He picks up a glass and smashes it against the far wall.]

Disgusting, dirty, everything is contaminated with their evil! They're watching our every move! Everything we do! Our entire lives - our privacy, our names!

Damn vipers among our ranks and we can't even ferret them out?!

I won't go! I will NOT be taken again!! Peter! You can't let them take me again!

[He grabs a lamp and smashes it against the floor repeatedly.]

I'll find how you watch us and I'll destroy it! I'll find it and destroy it!!!

Walter?? Are you okay?? Did something happen?

Ikki! Ikki, they're watching us! You're not safe!

"They"...? Who do you mean?

Them!! [He points to the ceiling and then grabs the book frantically.]

They're listening now, too! You mustn't let them take you! Who knows what they might do to you!

[ He wins a truly puzzled look. ]

Ummm...you mean everyone else on the network?

No! No, the ones who keep us here! Our captors! Now they want to pick apart our brains, make us better. I know how that happens and you can't let them take you!

The Malnosso? [ Well, that's...clearer, a bit. ] D'you mean about that new one, who talked to us in the journals?

That viper! Hidden behind a child's smile to get behind our defenses!! You can't trust her, Ikki - doctors like them, they never want you to actually get better. They only want to poke around inside your mind and scramble everything up!

I didn't talk to her. I mean, I saw her post, but I didn't say anything.

[Oh thank God...she's safe. Maybe. The woman knew his name already, so maybe she knew Ikki, too. Ikki had been here longer, after all.]

G-good. Don't talk to her. Don't ever talk to her. Or anyone who is on her side. They work together, teams, they team up on you and then you find yourself not recognizing who you are anymore.

...You've been ever so kind to me since I arrived. I wouldn't want them to hurt you, do you understand?

It's okay. I mean - my grandparents and family won't let that happen.

[ If they can stop it, at least. She's pretty sure. ]

And I don't talk to anyone weird.

G-good....That's-- That's good.

[Wait, did she just say she doesn't talk to anyone weird? Walter stops for a moment, and his voice softens.]

Thank you, Ikki. ...That's very kind of you to say.

Is it?

[ She hadn't even thought anything of it, but hey! ]

You be sure to take care too, though, Walter. 'Kay?

Y-yes, thank you, dear. I- I will. Thank you. You too, yes?

Of course!! I always take care. It's part of our house rules.

...And if you need help, be sure to ask for it.
