I have to say that yesterday’s interview gave me a great deal of information that at least helped push things forward. Yeah, I may have had to sidestep a few ethics here and there but my hoof had been forced when Mr. Skull pulled that nightmare over my head like a blanket. How that’ll affect my ‘relationship’ with Apollo Glint remains to be seen. I just hope that he would forgive me for what I had to do. Hopefully, he’ll remember none of what happened. He’s, from what I understand, in a trance-like state that is like a coma but the doctors gave an estimation of a week at most before he awakens.

Also, I got word from Rosetta Scribe’s husband, Berry Turnover, that he compiled all of her notes and data she built over the course of her tenure at this facility. When they get here tomorrow, I will begin analyzing them with Parchment Scribble but I anticipate the amount of all that research to be substantial, to say the least. When I last was there, I got the chance to do a very brief preview of what she was able to acquire. From what I recall, there was one note that had only a single letter.

“G-”

If I can guess, that could be the first letter of Mr. Skull’s true name but I’m sure that the notes can solve that riddle. Now, if there was one thing I enjoyed doing in my youth, it was solving puzzles and riddles. For me, the mind is like one big puzzle where no two minds are the same. You’ll never know what you’ll get out of each dive into the brain. it ‘s what makes us truly unpredictable and it’s also a story with each experience. That’s also why they pay us the big bits for each case.

Don’t get me wrong; I do want to help out these patients with their problems as issues of the mind often go ignored. Such is the case of Apollo Glint. But even then, I would rake in a bit of a fat sack of bits in exchange for my work but I usually would like to donate a majority of the earnings to charities I support. I just find the idea of making money off of the mentally ill leaving a bad taste in my mouth. But, that’s just me though. It always made me incredibly uneasy.

I know that Apollo won’t be too keen on wanting to be interviewed any time soon. With that, I’ll leave him be and let him come to me if he so desires. I just hope that experience hasn’t put a strain on his fragile mind.
