<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

They’re hard to describe. But they can’t be good for her mind either.

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

Do you think you got through to her at all?

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

I genuinely do. We were talking, and she was listening. How often can you say that happens?

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

Well... never. I'm shocked.

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

There's... something else...

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

She’s someone I know enough about, because people in high places that I interact with have interest in keeping an eye on dangerous people, we’ll say. We’ve not heard of it either.

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Talk to me Prism! What's going on?! *Keeps infusing order and stabilizing energy in you*

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

You know, but haven’t done anything about her?

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

They can’t.

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

*Looks down with sorrow*
I really hope you’re right. My brother would do anything to have her back.

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

I can only imagine. Hopefully a big first step was taken here today.

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

We’ll see. I sincerely hope it wasn’t a one-off.

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

I don’t plan for it to be. I kind of have an obligation now to check in, based on how our talks went.

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

*Suddenly all of the magic freezes*
Something else is here.

<Snipped quote by Memory>

What now... ? *I sigh in annoyance and begin looking around*

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

What do you mean check in?

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

Well I have to talk with her again at some point in the near future. Otherwise I’d just be abandoning the progress.

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

It’s not your world... something else is wrong.

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

I don’t think that’s a good idea. Who knows how she’ll be next time?

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

I learned a few things today. One, she can’t hurt me when I’m prepared. I have that advantage over… A certain archetype of people. Two, that she is willing to listen, so it’s not a worthless endeavor. Three, she doesn’t ubiquitously want to be the way she is anymore, despite what part of her might say. And four, that I could manage perfectly fine if I plan for and am ready to see her. All of these things I am unmistakably sure of. I’m in a unique position here and I would hate to throw it away.
