It's been a while since Tom has made his presence known to Schreber. He's been too busy watching the man and his strange family to actually bother talking to him. He's been trying to figure out who the weird guy with the bad skin is, or why none of them seem to leave the house for very far or long. The girlfriend, she actually drives to the city

His and John Murdoch's. It suddenly dawns on Tom that he's wasting his time here, talking to Schreber. This mousy little nervous man has answers, but no solutions. Maybe John could give him what he wanted.
Maybe he could make John give him what he wanted.
"Are you the one that's running everything now?" He knows Schreber won't answer him honestly, but he's curious what sort of reaction the other man will give.

Tom frowns. He doesn't look particularly interested in helping out the city. But he's not about to get up and throttle Schreber, either. He suspects that the man would simply take the beating, and it wouldn't get him any closer to getting his memories back. And Schreber was right -- if he went around telling people the truth, he'd get thrown in the loony bin for sure.
But he was still mad. "No, I don't have any suggestions," he snaps back, then sighs and runs a hand through his hair. "I need to think about all of this. Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Orwell makes clicking noises and sways from foot to foot on the back of the chair because of Tom getting up quickly. If he'd stepped toward Schreber he probably would have gotten attacked by the raven.

Schreber kind of limps after him and his expression does not get any better. He's too slow to keep up with Tom angrily striding away. "They... looked like people. Ah. Well not really, more like..." He wrings his hands. "They looked like black... squid... things, but they hid in human bodies. Pale... hairless. Why? Do... you remember Them?" Gibbs kind of does so it seems possible.

He swallows hard. "No. Was just curious." His hand grips the doorknob and he yanks it open. He looks like he might say something else, but instead just leaves, slamming the door behind him.
Yeah. That could have gone better.
