Eddie had an arsenal of deductions to work with. He drew on this Harvey's reaction to the aforementioned Gilda.

"Just an experiment. I'm assuming the ah, moral split you seem to be suffering isn't easy to smooth out. You're angry and you feel cheated. Who wouldn't? You HAVE been cheated. But repressing your reaction? Trying to repress that? It's a failure in progress. Let it out, in a controlled setting if you must. Prove to yourself you don't need that, ah, darker aspect."

Eddie smiled.
