yep…although his continual punishment I think was just a bonus. After Robin left the office he did nothing more. Seeing Robin in his true form was just enough for him to lose it.
I wonder if the *boss* was ever in the nuthouse. Maybe in another straitjacket, in the next padded room?
It’s the same psychiatrist as before, right? Seems a little strange to see him both as a private practitioner and as staff at the asylum, though of course he could be both.
Stranger, of course, is his dual role. Half the time, he examines patients, writing down notes in his little book where he tries to diagnose the source of their delusions. Then, when they’re gone, he decides that three walls is plenty, turns to the audience directly, and is the narrator who knows everything that’s going on, including the fact that they aren’t delusions at all.
In short, I think there is a lot of ambiguity in this entire story on what is and isn’t real.
Has it been established as fact that James *is* Robin? It seems so, but I decided to avoid speculating, and continued to call him James.
Well in my view, this man has done Old Puck far more wrong then the boss did. The boss merely saw an issue and was lead to believe it was Robin’s fault and acted accordingly. Yes he was rather strict and a little cruel but put next to the deliberate Nick Bottom level of ego of this guy. The boss should get off with just the encounter at the office.
Well, that was unexpected. O_O
Not to all. This seems to be exactly what Dragon predicted on Friday. Congratulations!
Thanks. 😀
Yep. I couldn’t reply on it at the time. Good job!
So where’s Jim/Robin now?!
Good question
So robin never was in the nut house? it was all one mans delusion? (punishment?)

James/Robin will be explained. But a lot of what is real will be dependent on if you believe in faeries.
So if I believe in faeries…am I screwed?
More than likely. At least according to modern psychology.
*starts clapping* I believe in faeries…. I believe in faeries…

I think he’s punishing himself. Robin did nothing more to him after he left the office.
Noticed a typo. The narrator says “goes through the same thing ever night.” Shouldn’t it be “every night”?
What a satisfying twist >:D
Thank you very much.
Ah, nicely done.
