He took your body. Yes. That is more understandable. He must have some purpose for

[Abruptly he stops. There is something wrong with his reasoning here, an he can't put a finger on it, and he's already afraid.]

He was fighting himself, the unmasked one. He never truly understood what was happening to him, I think. What he'd been given.

no, he didn't. and he didn't want it. i guess i can't really blame him...but it made things harder

[bookofnope]

I admit, I've given up on teaching people to understand long ago. They either do or they do not. In the long run, it's better to detach yourself quickly.

[0thingsonmymind]

in a way i did

now...well, it doesn't matter if he's dead.

*He'd like to talk to Tim, but that would probably end badly for both of them. It might be better that Tim isn't around for this relapse.*

[bookofnope]

You'd think so, wouldn't you? And yet I find myself having some of my most difficult conversations with the dead. It is... exhaustingly human business.

[bookofnope]

People who are gone. One way or another. Not even dead, perhaps, just... people who are past answering us, except in our own echoing heads.

ah, okay
