[It takes him a bit to figure out how the hell to start the feed. When he finally does, all PokéConnect is treated to the sight of a deceptively calm man dressed in purple pants and a white shirt tied with a gray obi, the traditional psychic’s outfit. An Absol keeps pacing behind him, as if expecting him to fall over at any moment and preparing itself to catch him. Honestly, that’s because it is, since its new Trainer has had a massive panic attack that caused him to pass out once already, and Absol can sense that there will be more to come. This is going to be a long partnership.]

Morgan, if this is a prank, alright. You got me. You win the war.

[The man holds up his hands in defeat, still unnaturally calm.]

I don’t know how you did it, but you can stop now. I get it. You can make the Pokémon go away. Once again, I have no idea how you did it…

[His throat gets tight. He struggles to keep his breathing even.

Please, Morgan. Please oh please make this stop.]

But you can stop it now. I have a lot of work to do, and giving me strange clothes, asking a woman to pretend to be my mother, and trying to make me doubt my own sanity is not helping.

[Please let this be a prank. Please say he’s not completely insane.]

And you can turn off the music while you're at it.

[He has to rub his temples. He needs to lie down again.] Where are you from? [Ask questions. Talk about other people. He needs to shut down part of his brain and just process.]

I used to travel a lot, so that's kind of a difficult question to answer. What about you?

Vegas. I'm from Las Vegas in the United States.

I live in the capital now, though.

Are you from a specific country, at least?

Yeah, I'm from the United States too. I haven't been home in a long time, but I grew up in Massachusetts.

Sorry, I don't think I got your name--I'm Hal Emmerich. Most people just call me Otacon.

I'm Dr. Spencer Reid. [Beat.] Uh, just call me Spencer. Or Reid, whatever your preference. Otacon, that's, that's an interesting name--why do people call you that?

In that case, you can just call me Hal.

[He laughed quietly, almost sounding embarrassed.]

That's...kind of a long story.

Alright. I can call you whatever you like.

[Reid give a small, nervous smile. He hasn't forgotten how stressful this situation is, but he's trying to keep himself calm.]

You should... You should tell me about it some time. If that's okay.

Sure, I wouldn't mind that sometime.

How're you feeling? I know this is kind of a shock all at once.
