Not without my friends, at least...

[Maybe they have already been rescued? He can't assume. Can't trust that. Won't be the one to go back and be left alone for his inaction.

Inaction...like what he's doing now?]

I'm sorry. It's difficult to think clearly. Who's been rescued already?

[fiftheclipse]

... Uh.

[Good question. He looks around for a moment, but, no, a headcount's going to take too long.]

It doesn't matter-- just find anyone who's alone and get em out!

[warriorscribe]

[Enoch nods.] All right. Be-...be patient with those who are particularly unwell.

[The illusion can, after all, hurt them. It had, before anyone knew it wasn't real.]

[fiftheclipse]

[Patient..? That's... Maybe if he knew everyone well enough it would be an option, but--]

If you wanna go slow with people, the ones who got hurt are all yours.

[Not that anyone didn't get hurt. Still, the way it's said should be clear that he means those without the red lines.]

The rest can take it.

[warriorscribe]

The rest can-

[Did he hear that right?]

Are you really going to try to force them out without attempting to convince them?

[fiftheclipse]

W-well it's not like I know what's gonna get through to anyone. I just gotta cover their eyes and shove them out, right? Or knock them unconscious?

They can't hit something if they don't think it's there.

[warriorscribe]

[That's not the worst idea he's heard. Except knocking them unconscious. It can actually be kind of difficult to do that for any length of time without causing more lasting damage.]

If that works, it's certainly a good idea for the more stubborn ones. If it doesn't...let's try to avoid doing any more harm. Miller has hurt us all enough.
