22. I'm saying the hotel might call the police and she needs to get ahead of that before it happens.

Again, if he interferes with hotel staff or construction, and they don't have the context of him needing help, he could be heading into a disaster. It may help to actually enlist their assistance on a welfare intervention if the therapist is worthless.

So either he's just saying to her this delusion so he can have alone time and is being a dick, or he's actually having the delusion. Two very different things.
