Crane turned to the rest of the class and saw that they were a little more engaged in his speech, but not enough. "The doctors at Arkham are able to read people through their actions. That's how they learn what the insane," he didn't like using that word, "people are thinking. Sometimes people do things without noticing it to get something they want. For example, a man who killed his family might be afraid of commitment. When you stare out the window," he gestured to a kid who was, indeed, staring out the window, "You might just be thinking about leaving school, but your mind might also be wishing for something else. Maybe to travel into the sky or to learn about things outside." The child stared at Dr. Crane in astonishment.

"You, on the other hand," he gestured to Paul, "aren't listening to what I say. Oh, you're looking at me and pretending, but your eyes aren't moving at all like they would be if you were listening to me." Crane smirked at the faces of the kids. Now they were interested.

"What I find interesting is that nobody would consider what I just did science. When people say science people think about looking at test tubes and vials, but really science is anything that takes research. Psychology is a branch of science that studies the mind and how it works, how sometimes it's more powerful than the body." Crane allowed himself a vent that would please the science teacher. He hoped that he was almost done. But he doubted it.

Crane saw that what he just said made the class skeptical again. He sighed. "How many of you have heard of mind over matter?"

Crane nodded to them. "Mind over matter means that sometimes your mind does something that isn't real, but makes it seem real. It's like..." Crane struggled for an example that would make sense to them. "It's like when you daydream. You sometimes feel things, like the cold or heat of the place you're at, when you daydream. But they aren't happening in real life, your mind is controlling what your body is feeling. Some of these people at the asylum do that all the time, but instead of feeling temperatures in daydreams they feel other people that they think is in real life. They see, hear and feel them but they aren't real, their minds are creating them."

"We try to fix that by talking to them and showing them that what they see isn't real. We fix their problems and give them medicine that helps them see fact." Crane put his glasses back on. "Sometimes it doesn't work though."

"Sometimes we can't help some people. Sometimes they don't want any help. When that happens, we have to leave them there. We come in and talk to them, but there's nothing more we can do." Crane tilted his head. "Sometimes, we get people who stay until they die."

Crane noticed the boy he had talked to before fall asleep. He stepped over. "Hey," he snapped, clapping near his ear, "Sleep somewhere other than school." He went back to the front of the classroom. "Any questions now?" he asked.
