Only 'e wasn' quite a man, but some...entity what could only exist as long as people remembered 'im. So he would insert 'imself into their pasts, so 'at they didn' question 'im bein' 'round now."
He looks up, watching Gray's face. "You gotta know, yer brother...'e's an open book. Any psychic can jus' walk in an' do what they like." Hell, Gray had depended on that.

"An' fer some reason, Adam...decided 'e wanted to be there in yer brother's memories from the start. 'E weasled 'is way into every memory Jackson had...by replacin' you."
