Description     Matthew was incarcerated and help till his trail in a prison, but, during his time in holding, it came more and more clear to people that he wasn't well. When his court date came, it was ruled that he was not in fully aware of all his actions on account of his metal disorders. He was sent to a mental hospital where he was suppose to be treated for his mental illnesses. Weeks went by as they diagnosed him for his personality disorder and schizophrenia, and his warnings about violent tendencies warranted him residence inside a padded cell.  
    On one of those days, Matthew woke up in that cell again. It was still something he had to get use to, walls and floor feeling like a pile of pillows. But what threw him off the most was the jacket with many straps he was using for a blanket. It looked like a strap or two had been gnawed off. 
    "Seems like you had trouble sleeping." Brian's voice could he heard, and then Matthew saw him on the wall. before Matthew could ask, Brian was nodding, "Yeah, I'm surprised it knew how to get out of something so tight. It chewed up the straps afterwards." 
    "They're gonna get mad at us over this, won't they?" Matthew said, looking at it, "Have we hurt anyone?" 
    "It's gotten pretty aggressive," Brian said, "These people seemed to have taken your advice well and changed their approach at the same time. Keeping their distance and letting you cool down." 
    "That's would explain... a few things." 

    They were let out once and a while, taken to careful sessions with people that were specific, as Matthew seemed to react a lot to needles, physical harm, and even some species that got close to him. One of his better sessions was with what seemed to be a wolfess, "How are you doing today, Matthew?" 
    Matthew smiled as she sat across from him, "I'm doing well." 
    "And how are the others?" she asked him, "I've read you're case, you usually have three others that follow you?" 
    Matthew paused and looked away from a little shy, "They're okay... Lass is going a bit nuts now that you're here." 
    "I see, she's the party girl." The wolfess said and started writing something, "Do you take your medication still?" 
    "Yeah, but I'm not sure if it's strong enough." Matthew said, "Are we gonna up the dosage again?" 
    "Maybe, Maybe not..." The wolfess said, "What about The First, as you call it? Is that one still around?" 
    Matthew took a moment, looking around the room, and shook his head, "Not this time." 
    "Has it been around more often?" 
    "No, not really." Matthew said, his ears lifting a bit, "It's been strange ever since I was arrested... Just watches me now." 
    "I see... why do you think that might be?" the doctor asked.
    "I think it has to do with what happened." Matthew said, "The deal that I made before it took full control." 
    "You mean." She looked through her papers, "At the hidden lab... where you let it control you if it didn't hurt your friends." 
    Matthew nodded, "I think it's keeping back, at least for now. Because it broke that promise." 
    "I think there's something more. It's gotten aggressive and controlled you while you stayed here." 
    "Sorry." Matthew looked down, 
    "Don't be, I know why it came out." The doctor said, "It's a defense mechanism personified. When you feel you're in danger, it comes out of you to eliminate the threats. That's why you're being given pills to take rather than injections of medication." 
    "And the people?" 
    "It's probably based on the the people, and what they looked like, whom put you through those experiments." The doctor said, "I'm sure with time and aversion therapy, we could help you be more relaxed around all kinds of people again. It'll just take a while, but, if you're trying well enough, that should just be another several months."
