Leela nodded. Guybrush's shadow had definitely seemed as if it had been out to shake his confidence, as opposed to actually hurting him. It hadn't made contact with either of them that she remembered, but it had done a lot of trash-talking and sword-brandishing.

"No, I didn't. But I don't believe what Landel said. I think he just wants people to feel bad, so they'll feel less like trying to get away. You'd think it would be easier to just make it nice here, but maybe the patients are too paranoid to buy that. Not you," she explained. "Just in general."

Why they would pick people like that was a mystery, but it could have been that they liked a challenge. "And the guy I was with had one. Maybe it was meant to freak both of us out. Or," she added, with a sudden thought, "they were supposed to make people too suspicious of each other to work together." That was pretty simplistic, for someone as seemingly practiced at evil as Landel, but it made sense to Leela.
