That turned out to be a loaded question, though Guy didn't think he'd have a hard time answering it. "Well, everyone appears human, anyway," he said between bites of food. "From the sounds of it, a lot of patients were something else before arriving and were put into human bodies when they got here." It made sense in a weird way, since it wasn't like Landel could have kept up his cover of being a legitimate mental institute if there were strange creatures running around, sentient or not.
"Still, once you're here the idea is that you stay human, so I'd never really heard of someone turning into something in this place." No one had actually turned into a zombie, for instance, even if there had been a scare there. As far as he knew, anyway. The idea that one of the patients was now part of Doyleton's undead population was enough to turn his stomach, but Guy was sure he would have heard of something like that.
There was always the possibility of someone reverting to their original body when under the effects of the brainwashing, but that was difficult to keep track of when there were also those guardians wandering around, the things that were worse than the average monster and yet not patients at all. Still, he thought his answer had been detailed enough that Zero would get the picture.
