Oh well... Dear patients, your attention for a moment, please. It would seem we've run into a few minor problems. This is quite embarrassing. But I'd like to invite a few of you to have a talk. First, is there anybody who has anything to talk about? It can be anything, really. There are some of you that I still don't know too well. Well, how about

'Embarrassing problems?'

What kind of issues would those be?

[immortalstudies]

Honestly, a little breach of security that we're rather concerned about. I'm sure you haven't even noticed any changes recently?

[monophthalmus]

A breach of security.

[Someone sounds a little pleased, there's no disguising it.]

Of what sort? Should we be concerned, or did someone break out?

[...also not answering your questions.]

[immortalstudies]

Both, actually.

[WELL BE LIKE THAT, KID.]

[monophthalmus]

Well, someone who escaped can hardly be a threat to the rest of us, doctor.

Who's missing?

[immortalstudies]

Duo. Do you know the boy?

And you may want to remember that there are dangerous mental patients in this institution. Whoever manages to break out here will certainly pose a danger to you patients primarily.

[monophthalmus]

I don't believe we've spoken.

[a beat]

You mean he's still in the asylum, and you haven't found him?

[immortalstudies]

Actually, that is precisely why I want to talk to a few of you. So that you tell me what you think. That's much more interesting, no?

[monophthalmus]

You ought to be questioning your guards. It's more likely that they noticed something than that we spotted an escape, locked in our cells.

This doesn't build much confidence in your staff, doctor.

[immortalstudies]

Trust me, we did. Now, we just want to talk to you to confirm a few things. After all, we wouldn't want to put you at any risk.

I'm aware. Would you prefer it if I lied to you?
