"My ego is not so nearly as fragile as you think," Harrison admitted with a vague smile. "You only get to be a good scientist by being able to admit when you've been wrong. Or misled. What matters is finding the right path again."

He leaned closer to the glass again. "And you..." Another quirk of a smile, "...have shown me exactly what I need to find the right path. In fact, you're just what I needed for another....experiment of mine. So it comes down to a choice. You can stay here in the lab, but I cannot allow you to continue altering the memories of my staff. The only catch is that you will be wearing....a device. It will monitor and regulate what you take from others. Or, you can refuse, and I leave you to whither away."
