[Cass is in the common living room on Floor 6 when she records this. She's wearing a purple hoodie that's a size or two too large for her, and she holds up her phone, thinking.]

So, um--hi. [A little wave at her phone's camera, and it's definitely kind of uncertain and awkward.] I'm Cassandra. Tim, Jason, and Damian's... sister, if you know them. Got here a few weeks ago. I was... wondering, if any of you knew anything about... neurology? Brain structure. Um, language centers, especially. Maybe... different ways to teach? I had a scan done--back home. About a month before I... got here. I'm not... wired right, I guess. Or just... different? It's...

[She cuts herself off with a frustrated sigh, closing her eyes for a second. The words aren't lining up right. Scrubbing a hand back through her hair before she continues, moving onto another point. Forget where she had been trying to go with that before, doesn't matter now.]

So. I need to, uh, learn to read. Normal ways don't work.

[She pauses, thinking, before changing gears.]

And, um, Steph and I are... joining the Guard. So if anyone wants to train, or spar... uh, let me know? I'm a good teacher. Learned from... all of the best.

[Yeah uh. She guesses that's it? Video over.]

Yes, I'm a medical doctor. Just come by when you have the time, then. And ask for Doctor Frankenstein.

[Cass nods. That name sounds familiar, but she can't place it right now. Whatever.]

I can come tomorrow. I think. [hm. flipping this to private.]

Any... questions? Things you want to know first.

[He doesn't assume people know who he is anymore. Some worlds don't have stories of Frankenstein and his monster]

Mm, well, I can't think of any. I'll run you through some brain scans and give you a few tests. We'll go from there.

[cassassin]

[Another nod.]

Okay. I'll be there. Anything I... should do? Shouldn't do? Before I come in.

[jolting]

Just treat it like you're going in for a physical.
