St Mungos Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injurys

"He is the Head Strayer. Not me. His choices are not mine to question." He repeats.

"Seems to be a chant to keep you calm..." Heather talks as she writes it down.

"Fact. That is what it is."

"It's okay to let your emotions out, Crest. You're not under any tyrannical pressure as you once were."

"What use are they? They cloud judgment, which in turn leads to mistakes."

"I don't make mistakes so others can afford to."

"Love is an emotion. An emotion you need to show your wife more often. Especially now that she's pregnant and will need more emotional support."

"I don't see why telling me this benefits you." To Crest's prejudiced view, all criminals cared about were their own self interest. They were subhuman, no more than vicious animals that killed to stay alive one more day.

"If you really don't know by now, it's because the minds of others fascinate me. Simple as that."

"And yet the one who needs to be observed behind glass, or bars, is you."

"And who said you don't need to be observed behind glass or bars? Believe it or not, you could be classified as insane."

"Not possible." He quickly brushed her off.

"Denial again..." Heather writes, then continues to explain. "You continue to break promises to your wife, hurting her over and over again. You show almost no emotion, which could very well make you a sociopath with this information alone..."

"This coming from you hardly holds water. You are far worse than I could ever be."

"It seems you have forgotten that I AM, in fact, a certified, educated psychiatrist, and I DO help people get better in my asylum... I have proof of both of these facts."

"A good front for your other activities..." He dismissed. To him, she was beyond good qualities.

"So, logically, I know psychological problems when I see them. And Crest, you are full of them."

"Your attempts to confuse me are futile. I know who I am and what I do. I'm not crazy."

"Most mentally ill people don't even realize that they are... Though you may not be as severe as others, Mr. Strayer, you DO have mental problems. And they hurt your wife greatly. Like your obsession with Ms. Shaderose, for one..."

"that isn't obsession. She just needs to be stopped."

"Obsession has many different forms, Crest. Crouch is obsessed with chaos and anarchy, Jack is obsessed with science, and you are obsessed with stopping Raven... So you are obsessed with her, in a sense."

"It's a job."

"A job that interferes with your social and love life, hurting the people that care about you."

"That's a very short list."

"Are you so sure? I could list out who cares for you if you'd like..."

"Unnecessary."
