Shawn: New Friends Have Secrets
Shawn kinda wanted to see what the weird thing in Leonard's closet was, but he didn't want to get caught snooping so soon after he'd promised he was trustworthy. Instead, he decided to try an experiment, something he thought might work but had never tried.
He closed his eyes and opened his imagination. He imagined himself in the room he was already in, sitting in the position he already sat, hearing the sounds he was already hearing. The only difference, in this imagination, was that Shawn had Mr. Clayton on his arm. He put as much detail into it as he could - how the dummy looked, how it felt on his hand. He looked at the imagined Mr. Clayton and imagined speaking. Mr. Clayton, he imagined, Are you there? He relaxed and let his mind imagine what the dummy might reply with without any conscious input. If, after all, the dummy was a trifle, surely that would include its physical presence. And if it didn't, that was good to know as well.
