Well, if I'm hallucinating, there's no way for me to identify what is real and what isn't beyond trying to think about what would rationally be real. [And so far, he's had people jabbering about being trolls and giant robots and Pokemon, so he's thinking you're all just as fake as this world.]

I'm not--I'm not judging. I'm deducing the nature of the situation based on the facts. The facts are that it's more likely that I am hallucinating than it is that this is actually happening. [But he raises an interesting point, about getting hurt. Reid runs a hand through his hair, pursing his lips.

With hallucinations this intense, Reid has no way of knowing if he's sustaining an actual injury or if he just thinks he has. Or he could even be unaware of an injury he already has. The nature of schizophrenia is that it feeds slanted or outright false information to the senses, and thus people see, feel, hear, and just generally sense things that aren't there. He really is helpless.]
I have no way of knowing that threats I perceive are real.
