[He shouldn't type the words that rise to his mind next. Will is in Hannibal's thrall. He might be marginally less dangerous, but that doesn't make him harmless, particularly not when there's the chance that Hannibal might be able to use him, might get him to talk. This is something he hasn't been able to tell many people, though. It's... shame? That's not a feeling House legitimately feels often. He'd do a hell of a lot less if he did.
The problem with only pretending to be a sociopath is that he can only half-flip the switch on his emotions and conscience to off. Will isn't one to judge, though. I makes him annoyingly easy to talk to... like Wilson.]

you'd be surprised, some of the crap that comes out with normal people when they're dying or maybe not drugs, self-harm, being adopted, being somewhere they shouldn't've been sex sex's usually one of the big ones it's amazing the diseases you can get from sex
a lot of the time whatever it is they're lying about is relevant to the medicine a lot of the time it's not but it's still the truth it's part of the puzzle it's not always easy to wash off what you find when you go looking under every stone, i guess

i've had experiences like you self-hypnosis extreme empathy dreams whatever you wanna call it just once, really but one of the last things i remember from home is sitting in a car choking on carbon monoxide poisoning because i found out my husband was cheating on me in the course of my doctor's diagnosis and i got that from a guy i barely remembered walking into my office and shooting me it was really freaking weird
