"It's good to see you again, Claire."
"...I'm happy to see you too, Uncle."
"I heard you had an incident in the woods, did you run away from the nurse again?"
"...I got to play with Legend again. He took me to the river and we threw rocks."
"Legend, right. Your imaginary friend was it? So I'm guessing he didn't throw stones with you?"
"...Legend is real though, we play together all the time."
"Claire, think for a moment, I asked you something else."
"Um... Oh yeah, no, Legend doesn't throw rocks. I don't think he knows how to skip stones."
"That's what I thought. So you were skipping stones at the river, did you walk into the river?"
"... Yeah, but then I threw a shell and wanted it back. I walked into the water and saw something in it. It was like a bit white otter with a fish tail."
"Uhuh... Another figment of imagination... That or a wild animal. So what did it do?"
"... It had a fish in its mouth and it swallowed the whole thing. It was soo pretty too, I wanted to pet it."
"Claire, it could have hurt you."
"...It wouldn't hurt me, It's my friend. When I got close it got scared, but I went after it. We met again at the waterfalls and I got close enough to pet it."
"You chased an animal that far, and then went to touch it? Did it hurt you?"
"...No, she's my friend. She stood still and let me pet her. Even legend seemed to like her. He was there with me."
"You're saying... both Legend when you went to pet this thing."
"... Not right away. She still acted weird when I went up to her, but she seem to calm down once Legend showed up. He was all growly toward her, I think he was telling her I was nice."
"... ... Claire, I understand you like going to the forest, but I'm concerned your medication isn't strong enough. We may need to up your dosage, that or you need to drink more water.
