Ooh, this is fascinating! I digs both into their backstories and adds to the pain and angst, too.
Re: Reid -- this, definitely. And think of this -- that probably helped the Dilaudid to get 'hold of him, since it's an opiate and slows the mind. In theory, it could act as a dampener to his telepathy, allowing him to avoid the memories and thoughts that aren't always his. Yesssss.
I also love the way you put it for Em. I have a similar sort of thing, but of course less blatant. I blend in easily, as long as I don't talk much. I even kind of had a minor breakdown over the trait earlier this fall when I wondered what parts of my personality were actually mine, and not just mannerisms and traits were gleaned from the outside world. I totally see where you're going with this.
