"I didn't mention it to you because Peter swore up and down that you'd been the one to tell him that he was having psychic catalyzation going on-"

Ray blinks a few times.

"Oh, hell, I think there's two of your continuum if you don't remember that. Anyway, Peter went through a period of mild to moderate psychic activity, most of it emotion-linked, but back around Halloween a lot of that got burnt out or something. I wasn't here when that happened- I was trapped in the alternate universe where you work for CSICOP. Peter got hit with some kind of curse and it nearly killed him- it stopped his heart at one point, but one of the local doctors got him back. He's still registering on my PKE meter but not nearly as much as he used to. It's the whole 'oh God I can see the ghosts even when they're not fully manifested and I can do weird things with the power of my brain, oh no, I am a freak' deal that gets under my skin. Obviously, the man isn't enough of a geek to appreciate the hand he's been dealt."
