Lucy Says She Was Invited
Lucy revealed Mae recruited her after discovering the clinic planned to label every witness delusional.
Her role was to enter the house, wear the coat, and force public attention. She had believed Claire consented to the shock.
Claire wanted her gone. Instead, she asked Lucy to repeat every instruction exactly.
One instruction referred to a blue room. Claire's house had no blue room.
Ruth called from a bus station. "Room Six was never at the clinic," she said. "It was your house before you bought it."
