| Percival will ask Rosaleen is she could sketch out a person with his help, he will give a description of the man in his dream that was the psychiatrist.
And while I don’t remember the name given Percival would have written it down as soon as he came to, so he would begin looking up any information about this doctor. To see if he is real. | |

| - Successful Research Check:
Though lots of Dr. Copelands show up, one in particular stands out and seems to most match who you saw. He was a psychologist who practiced in the 1850s. He was from England and sent to India to help set up the first lunatic asylums. By the 1860s though he was removed and set up a "private practice," independently funding his own asylum. To separate those he deemed could be helped from those that could not he encourage suicide among his "patients." (There are stories of kidnappings suggesting people weren't coming to him freely.) Those that survived he thought had a spirit that wanted to be redeemed and those that were successful had spirits that wanted to return to the afterlife and be reborn.
He earned the local name Dr. Death, and was eventually arrested and set to be returned to England for trial.
There are two different accounts of his death. He escaped his guards and either then jumped from the train as it crossed a trestle and fell to his death, or in a more dramatic fashion climbed on top of the train and stood up as the train entered a tunnel.
