It's ridiculous, and he knows it. Being so afraid of what's in his own friend's minid that he sleeps, when he sleeps, with the bedroom door locked. Panicking whenever he hears Harvey so much as chuckle. Making sure that he's near some sort of sharp object or something that can be used as a weapon most of the time.
Being afraid at all, because he's Scarecrow. Maybe not the Scarecrow. But a Scarecrow at the very least. He should be able to control this.
And when he finds the note, when he reads it...for a split second, he considers leaving it at that. But.
He doesn't.
He doesn't. He gets on the phone, and he makes calls. Checks motels, hotels, apartments. Checks aliases. Keeps his eye on the news.
Eventually, he gets in his car. (Charlie's car) And he drives. And he searches. He spends time he could be spending on his work, and he searches.
"No. No, I don't see. When you're afraid of something, you don't take that thing away. That doesn't help. Exposure. That helps." Well. He's the psychiatrist, right?
He's also crazy. (Pot, meet kettle.) Harvey shakes his head. No more eye contact -- he's looking somewhere near their feet, now, instead. "I'm not going to watch you tear yourself up because of me. That's not helping."
That really is ominous. The look on Harvey's face is suddenly not a very anticipatory one. "I think that's the best reason there is to tell me. I've had enough memory loss to last me for a while."

"Okay. How?"
(Eventually, tangentially, one of them will probably have to move. For the moment, it isn't Harvey.)

Because that has anything to do with anything, Harvey? Dear God.

"Again."
But he hasn't said no, yet. Or hit him. which is what a lot of people might have done, when presented with such a suggestion.

"No. Not this time." He sounds almost apologetic, there. Sorry I'm not going to let you fear gas me again!
