*The Doctor opens his consulting room's door*
Doctor: The next one, please... *looks at his notebook* Psycho Mantis? Is Psycho Mantis here?
*An skinny, funny-dressed man with a gas-mask enters Doctor's consulting room floating*
Doctor (sitting down, while Mantis sits down on the couch; in a low voice): Nobody told me anything about floating... (in normal tone) Okay, so you're Psycho Mantis, my first patient-
Mantis (angry): I am not your patient! I'm perfectly sane!
Doctor: Er, well, you don't need to be insane to have problems, it is normal that-
Mantis: Shut up! You think I'm crazy but I'm not! I'M PERFECTLY SANE!
Doctor (uncomfortable): I don't think you're crazy, I-
Mantis: I can read your mind, remember? You were thinking I am crazy a moment ago.
Doctor: ...
Mantis: ...
Doctor: ...Anyway, mr. Kojima told me that many of his workers were having "problems" after making those two games... and he sent me your name among others'.
*the Doctor takes out a file from his desk*
Mantis (hesitating): And, even if I did have problems, who do you think you are to treat me?
Doctor (proud): Oh, I'm the best psychotherapist of the country. I helped Mario (poor guy, all that stress), Lara (too much responsability), Britney Spears-
Mantis: Britney Spears isn't a videogame character! She's just a regular human...
Doctor *sighs*: Yeah, that's why I have been trying to tell her all those years... Anyway, your profile says that you have several disorders... but it doesn't mention anxiety, which you obviously suffer.
Mantis (defensive again): What makes you think that?
Doctor *points behind Mantis*: The fact that you're ripping my courtains gave me a hint.
*Mantis turns around and sees that he's being mentally tearing all the room's curtains to pieces*
Mantis (about to cry): I... I suffer so much...
Doctor (taking his chance): What about your... eating problems?
Mantis: I'm not anorexic!!
Doctor: I didn't say that!
Mantis: But you thought it!
Doctor: No I didn't!
Mantis: I heard it as I'm hearing you right-
*a bell-like sound is heard; Mantis looks around, puzzled*
Mantis: ..What was that?
Doctor *taking his finger off a secret button*: Nothing *ahem*. You were telling me your anorexia was caused by the death of your father.
*Mantis stares at the Doctor*
Mantis: ...I was?
*the Doctor nods firmly*
Mantis: Well... I have always had trouble with food... after I burnt my town when I was a child and I saw all those people burning...
Doctor: ...you felt guilty, and that led to not wanting to live...
Mantis (blinking): What? No, after I saw that people burning, I decided to have as less fat as posible, to prevent burning so quickly as those stupid-
Doctor: Ok, ok, I get the idea! But I guess you don't believe in that now...
Mantis: No... but then I was hired by this Kojima guy, and I met that blond sissy that appears on the second game...
Doctor (in a low voice): Oh, yeah, he's crazy too...
Mantis: Did you just say "he's crazy too"??
Doctor: No, I didn't.
Mantis: Yes you-
*the Doctor throws a vase to the other side of the room*
Mantis (scared): ...
Doctor: So you met the blonde sissy...
Mantis: Yeah. He's the source of all my problems... he eats like a pig, he takes everything he finds, and still he's thin and healthy... *touches his mask* and his skin is so perfect... his face is like-
Doctor (waving a hand): Erm, yeah, I get the idea. You feel inferior to Raiden...
Mantis (about to cry again): I AM inferior to him!
Doctor (looking at his notes): But, you have superpowers...
*Mantis nods*
Doctor: And you can control other people... while Raiden is controlled by a talkative hyperactive girl.
*Mantis nods*
Doctor: And you can float around... and you don't wear a wig.
*Mantis nods twice*
Mantis: but... but he's so good with the sword!
Doctor: ...
Mantis: ...
Doctor (looking at a Stephen King book over his desk): ...but you're a thousand times better with the best of all swords... THE SWORD OF YOUR MIND!
Mantis: ...
Doctor: ...
Mantis: ...
Doctor: ...
Mantis: You... you're right! I AM more powerful than him!
Doctor (breathing again): I told you... now, go eat something and prove Raiden you can beat him at everything...
Mantis (standing up): Yes!
*Mantis leaves the room floating and singing*
Doctor (to himself): God... those videogame maniacs...
Mantis (from the waiting room): I HEARD YOU!
Doctor: ...the time's over! See you tomorrow!
