Claire wouldn't consider herself a successful psychiatrist. She'd only held her job for a measly two months now, still didn't have enough to pay off her college funds, and her patients were strictly kept at the most common, harmless disabilities. But when she receives an offer she cannot refuse, she realizes her skills aren't as useless as she thought; and according to Keith Laymond's experience and knowledge, she's the only one capable of cracking into the twisted mind that is Ruben Victoriano. But a fear lingers in Claire's mind,

Will it be she doing the cracking?

{The Evil Within fanfic}
{AU of "Memory's Captive", same characters, different plot}
{Follows an AU in The Evil Within plot in which Ruben is arrested before being killed and placed in the machine}
{I highly suggest reading my other fanfic before this one, "Memory's Captive" since this is an AU of it}
{Ruvik/OC ship}
{Knowing The Evil Within plot isn't vital since it is explained throughout this story, though I do recommend watching a play through of it or playing it for yourself!}
{*Contains heavy amounts of gore, blood, violence, mental disorders/depressing themes and overall horror themes, (no sexual themes). It is based off a M rated horror game after all.}
{Partially inspired by "Silence of the Lambs"}
