[This still doesn't prove they're gods. It only proves what Matt already knew, that they can reach into dreams.
He'd already begun to suspect that serum was to blame for his nightmare, and really? If it had just been him, he wouldn't be half as pissed. Would've accepted that he was a sucker, and learned his lesson from it.
I would remind you that the serum itself was a success. That is why it got the gods' attention. There was no scam involved. The serum worked perfectly when it was tested on myself and my assistant and worked on all of you -initially.
I accept my part of the blame for this. However, I believe that the gods share some as well.
Tobias offered, knowing full well that it was experimental. He volunteered even before I offered the opportunity, in fact. As far as I know there are no laws of consent or guardianship here. If he offers, I will take him up on it.
The only real pain he suffered was due to the gods, not me. [Now, if the experimenting had continued he might not have been able to say that but for right now that is the truth.]
Yes. The dream made that fact quite clear as well. I have one myself. [That you have failed to notice.] Or did you think that I slipped into every room and painted it on everyone?
[It actually did work, at first. Matt's bullshit detector is still going off, but he can't pin down why. Maybe this guy is just skeevy even when he's being up-front.]
All right, then.
[There's an implied I'll be watching to make sure you don't try anything funny in there.]

But you don't mess with Tobias. You just. Don't.]
Serves you right.

Whatever, just. Don't use Tobias as a guinea pig again.
