The letters matching up made the most sense if these people were really trying to screw with their heads. Byrne thought back to his letter, trying to remember the most important details from it as best as he could. "Hmm... Well, 'Kay' never mentioned you in my letter. But she did seem to hint at some 'elaborate story', saying that I hurt quite a few people, even murdered some." Thinking about it now, the idea was pretty dumb. As if Byrne would murder anyone. That was one moral line he wasn't willing to cross without very good reason, and he really had no excuse as he wasn't an armed law enforcement official like Badd was. If these people wanted him to believe he was some kind of serial killer in denial, then good god they were going to need to try really damn hard to accomplish that.

Then again, they'd easily made him think they had his daughter held captive and were torturing her...

Byrne frowned deeply for a moment as the thought crossed his mind, shook his head, then forced himself to stay focused on the letter. What else was important about it? And not last night? Think. "Oh, there were some spots that were blacked out in the letter, too. The only black out that made sense seemed to relate to time, if I remember right." Of course. Why would the institute want the patients knowing precious details like that? That would be a little too generous on their part.
