[ As he speaks, there's the rustle of paper and the soft sound of a pen scratching against it. Yako's taking notes, but it's what he says last which surprises her. ]

So Frankie Nichols is the appearance and the persona they default to when they aren't actively attempting to become someone else... [ She frowns in thought. ] Has he been known to revert back to any of their other victims, in the time he's been in the asylum?

Who was the person that they couldn't successfully become?

I am...not entirely sure. I've not worked with him for any extensive period of time, but there have been fears of him assuming the identities of any one of the staff members if they allow close contact without safeguards. This has not—to my knowledge—been the case however.

He has not been successful in assuming staff member identities, nor those he has not killed. It would seem that he either chooses not to when the individual in question has not fallen by his hand or he cannot do so.

It may be that he is simply covering his own bases so to speak, as if he were to leave a victim alive and still assume their identity who is to say he wouldn't be named immediately as an impostor? It's difficult to say exactly. Pure speculation on my part.

All right. Thank you, doctor, for your time. Those are all the questions I have, for now, and you've been very helpful.

Miss Katsuragi, wasn't it?

You're welcome, but please remember that should you encounter him he is probably best dealt with by the authorities or if you've a sedative I'd keep it handy if I were you. [Let's hope for your sake you don't have to get that close.]

Should you require any further assistance do not hesitate to call me at this number or at the asylum itself.
