Patient #323322
I am sad to have to be writing this message, but I believe it is of the utmost importance that I tell you about patient #323322’s condition. Bill cipher simply does not attempt to heal. After countless sessions of therapy, art periods, and plenty of time in the solitary-wellness void, I am concerned that we may not have the right tools to help him.
The problem seems to be that the patient does not trust us- nor does he trust the healing activities we give him (Yes, even puppet hour). While we will continue to try and get through to Bill Cipher, I am wondering if a trust building exercise might be necessary to make any progress.
Sincerely, Dr. IIXI

THERAPY SESSION TRANSCRIPT: PATIENT #323322, BILL CIPHER
RECORDED BY: DR. MERITH V. IIXI
CURRENT THERAPIST: SILAS THE 5-DIMENSIONAL
PROCEEDING:
SILAS: Without any further delay, Mr. Cipher- let’s get started. How are you feeling?
BILL CIPHER: Like I could jaunt right over there and rip out your spine. What’s it look like?
SILAS: I see… I’d like for this discussion to stay focused, please. I’ll ask again- how do you feel?
BILL CIPHER: Great, never felt better! You know what? I think I’m all healed! Thanks, Doc’, couldn’t have done it without you! Is that good enough?
SILAS: …It will have to do. Now, I have some questions I’d like to ask you.
BILL CIPHER: Again? Augh, I didn’t study this time!
SILAS: It’s come to our attention that you have been having… difficulties adjusting to the Theraprism.
The patient does not respond.
SILAS: With the disruptions you have caused, not to mention destruction of Theraprism assets, it is clear that something is wrong. Do you struggle to find peace here?
BILL CIPHER: Peace? In this shack of a facility? I’d have more peace if I was in the middle of a collapsing star, Bucko’. There’s nothing but nerds and spineless losers here- especially after what I did to that one guy, haha.
Silas makes a note: “More Solitary-Wellness Void time needed.”
SILAS: We remember the “spine” incident, Cipher. For my next question, I’d like to ask- did you struggle with fitting in growing up?
The patient does not respond.
SILAS: I ask only because you seem to disconnect yourself from your peers here at the Theraprism.
BILL CIPHER: “Fitting in”? Of course I fit in! I was the best, cutest little baby in my town! You should’ve seen me, Docky, I had little squeaky shoes, and-
SILAS: You are going off topic, Cipher.
BILL CIPHER: I mean it! I was darn tootin’ cute! Not that you’d appreciate that.
SILAS: Very well… It’s clear to me that we are not ready to discuss these questions.
BILL CIPHER: What a shame, eh? I guess we’ll have to postpone this forever.
SILAS: On the contrary, the Theraprism has decided that a new set of activities are in order.
