Panic always makes everything worse.

[he says it with a knowing glance, even if he's a little embarrassed to admit it. after telling someone about the Goblin, how could anything else be worse?]

D'you get that thing where - you start to get nervous, then you get annoyed that you're nervous, so you try to shut it down, but it just gets worse, and becomes this awful cycle?

[Marco's right, it IS entirely different. and yet Norman can follow the thread of it well enough, since it relates to how he tends to think when he's running on partial memory and trying to figure out what things the Goblin was responsible for, how he got from point A to point B. sometimes he'll think it was a lot worse than it actually was. and sometimes he underestimates his own subconscious capacity for cruelty.]

Those moments when you're not sure what's real - whether you can trust your own perception of things ... I've been there. It's terrifying.

[he thinks on this for a second, and then:]

If you ever need to, I dunno, double-check any dots. You can ask me. I won't make anything of it.

You've been so patient and understanding ... it's the least I can do in return.

[he glances around the office, wondering if this conversation is veering toward something uncomfortable for Marco.]

I hope I'm not keeping you from anything.
