Having spoken with his doctor at some length now, he recognizes what he was experiencing during his time in the cell at Kagura, that he was suffering from what he's been told is a flashback, something that happens to people who have been through traumatic experiences. He remembers, just barely, seeing Zoe and thinking she was Silence. Seeing the things that had grabbed him and feeling certain one of them was Cornelius Hickey. He knows better now, but that doesn't help him work out the reality of what happened.
"It was dark almost all the time," he says. "I left Zoe's flat to get some food as she had none left and there was something in the shadows, some sort of... creature.

He had heard talk of people being eaten, but he can't form those words. "I heard people talking of some other creature. They just referred to it as the darkness and I never saw it, so I can't tell you any more than that."
