delusional episodes often focusing
their paranoia on a external
tormentor.. In their case doctor a
scarecrow!

Doctor Hugo strange medical
annalist of patient 1992. DOCTOR
KRAIN! seems to have a fascinating
OBSESSION! with fear. This is very
unusual. I would suggest looking
further into subject 1922 aka Mad
hatters use of mind control. This
might be the only way to get it
through. On a personal note.. Im
worried that he is getting to me.
It could be that he sneaked this
drug in already which has not been
the first time here in Arkham. This
patient is like none I have ever
seen before... the second session
