Kevin and Dorothy approached him together, "Doctor, how's Everett doing?"

"Well, we're not quite sure what's causing his condition. We've run numerous tests and haven't pinpointed the problem," the doctor appeared just as puzzled, "We're guessing it might be... some sort of psychological issue, causing him to have hallucinations."

Psychological?
