The room wavers and blurs, her head pounds, and suddenly all Amy can see is Dr. Phalen, but he is not Dr. Phalen. He is a horror, a grotesque skeletal creature with a skull for a face and claws for fingers. Amy’s first response is shock. She cries out, but even as the shock resounds, vibrating through her body, she remembers—the cup of tea, the crashing weight of Phalen’s will. He tried to use her in some way, used his powers on her. Forced her to speak. To lure Kurushima here. She realizes that she must have been wrong about Scottie’s warning, and wrong about Phalen right from the start.
