Chapter 159

When the call connected, Bellamy exchanged a brief greeting before recounting Fraser's situation once again. Wesley had already shown up earlier that day. Normally, his appearances were random, but they were spaced at least two weeks apart. For him to appear twice in one day? That was a first. Even stranger-tonight's episode was way shorter. From the moment he walked in to the moment he passed out, it couldn't have been more than half an hour. "Oh, and one more thing," Bellamy added, "Fraser was clearly under hypnosis, but he said I felt really familiar to him. Could it be that the hypnotist wasn't very good or didn't go deep enough?" The psychologist patiently explained, "A second personality usually manifests desires that the main one suppresses or ignores. If the core personality starts to recognize and chase those desires, the second one tends to weaken. And your presence is likely a major trigger for that change. As for the hypnosis, I think Fraser's willpower is just too strong.
