Chapter 1

Stephen Leeds goes to J.C.'s room where he uses a picture of Osama bin Laden for target practice. He tells him to use the mansion's shooting range, but J.C., one of the least obedient of the the aspects, merely continues. Tobias then appears and asks about the man waiting in the sitting room. Stephen doesn't want to talk to him because he's probably just another person wanting to study him and his strange form of schizophrenia. He enters a different room with a couch and talks with his hallucinatory psychologist, Ivy. She's displeased with him when she finds out that the petitioner has been waiting for four hours. Stephen finally goes to see him, asking his butler Wilson to bring four drinks, two of them imaginary for Ivy and Tobias. They enter the sitting room where a young man is waiting. He claims that his fiancee is missing and needs help, but with the help of another aspect, Audrey, who is a handwriting expert, Stephen figures out that it is all a ruse so that the grad student can follow him around and study him. He kicks him out and receives the day's mail from Wilson.
