My work here is done.

I made Janni cry today. Mwahaha.

In fairness to Ben, he just woke up from this, and thinks he's hallucinating, that it's not really her. So he said something that he'd never ever have said, had he been in his right mind.

Which doesn't exactly mitigate the hurt.

Also, he blacked Alex's eye. Um.

I still need to figure out how long this particular psychotic break should go on.

Should research that, I suppose, so I can at least give a nod to actual psychology.

I wonder if werewolf healing™ can also encompass someone's mental well-being...

I'd like to have something snap him out of it, but I don't even know if that's sound, psychologically. Even the treatments for "brief reactive psychosis" (which is what this has all the earmarks of) include drugs and intensive therapy. Ben won't take drugs and they're not equipped to give him therapy. That being said, the interwebs says that a brief episode might be over with in as little as a day, so I guess I've got room to work.

Of course, part of his problem is that his senses are still being interfered with by the wolfsbane, so once that wears off he might have a better chance.
