"Why does she need help? Why is she above all else? How can hurting people be helping anyone!?" Mycroft snapped at him.

[standing_waters]

"She needs earthly agents. And we aren't just hurting, we're teaching you. You need to learn about helplessness and humility."

He has no answer for that middle question, though. Maybe if he just skips it no one will notice.

[holmesice]

"I really don't think we do," Mycroft said in that same, snappish tone. They were going in circles, and he doubted he'd be able to get much more out of him. "If you all are going to keep repeating that, you might as well be an idiotic computer program yourself."

[standing_waters]

"You do. Everyone does."

He chuckles a bit.

"Not a computer program. Just telling the truth, even if you refuse to listen to it."

[holmesice]

"You're deluded, and clearly are unable to listen to reason. Perhaps it is I who should feel sorry for you."

[standing_waters]

"I'm not."

Is he? No, he's pretty sure he's not. Something seems a bit off, but it doesn't seem like anything important.

"You're confused, though, so I don't blame you for thinking that. But its a good sign--not the refusing to listen to me, the uncertainty you feel. Its part of the process."

[holmesice]

....he was confused? Yes, that's right, he was confused.

"I..."

He rubbed his face. "I...a good sign? No, it's not supposed to be..."

[standing_waters]

"Its a great sign; it means you're finally starting to understand. The process is working."

Which had to be good, right? There was still something a bit off.

[holmesice]

"Is it?" He was tired of fighting, maybe it really was a good thing. Felt wrong, he wanted to protest, they were delusional, not him, but what if he was wrong? It was a lot of pointless exerted effort. "What happens at the end of the process?"

[standing_waters]

"You'll be welcomed as a fellow follower."

[holmesice]

No, that didn't sound good at all. No matter how addled his mind was, he was certain he didn't want that.

"No, thank you."

[standing_waters]

He smiles, "Just give it some time."

[holmesice]

"Perhaps I don't want to," he said snappishly. Though he worried maybe that's all it would take. Time.

[standing_waters]

"Its not really up to you."
