WEEK FIVE

Come Sunday morning, the portals around Estelline fade away, but not all of the oddities hanging around disappear so quickly. The recreations of your dreams and memories are still around, ever changing and shifting. Whatever it is that brought these things here hasn’t ended, not yet.

You don’t have time to worry about all of that, though, even if you know you should exercise caution once two of you found yourselves on the bad end of a monster’s claws. The course still isn’t over, though, even if the portals changed lesson plans. Everything continues on, with new places to explore as the fog pushes back once again. This week still feels a little more like what you’re familiar with, though, after Saturday’s lack of lessons.

...For now.

[Definitely touched a sore spot...

Noted.]

So would you take this experience back to your home world?

[selfconcept]

I don't have a home world.

[afflictionmods]

You have a place you came from. That is what we would consider your home world.

So, do you believe this experience would be a benefit to those you know?

[selfconcept]

[ He slaps him again. Just accept that he's a homeless alien. ]

No. I only got over the thing I said earlier because of the relationship I had with another person because I came here. While I'm thankful for the course because it let us meet, the bond, is irrelevant.

[afflictionmods]

[Ow!!!]

Can you please stop assaulting me?!

[He's very frazzled now. Poor guy.]

The bond is what we're interested in! Not your own person struggles.

[He is backing away from Hien as he says this...]

[selfconcept]

You should be, because struggling personally is what the bond has us do: suffering together. I can't believe someone like you has been tasked to survey us without knowing that. You suck.

[afflictionmods]

I'm not the one who started all of this! It's not like this was my idea, and I'm not the one who wants to know the answers to all of this!

[Still making sure he's out of slapping range...]

[selfconcept]

Yeah? Then who? Who should we blame?

[afflictionmods]

W-well, Lorelei is the one in charge, isn't she?

[selfconcept]

You don't even know who's in charge?

[ Bruh.... ]

[afflictionmods]

She's the one in charge of you! That's who you meant, right?!

[selfconcept]

No, I meant you. You're the one complaining about having to do stuff that you don't wanna , but you gotta because of your boss. Who's your boss?

[afflictionmods]

Well, I mean... The head of Camellia, of course? I'm not working for her.

[selfconcept]

I mean, it's clear you don't work for Lorelei. The student rulebook says "don't harm the staff". I just slapped you twice. I don't see Florence coming to issue a warning for me, and they're prompt about it too.

[ So he's probably with the other people that Lorelei is supposedly against. ]

[afflictionmods]

Florence?

[He seems very baffled by that name, before pushing that aside.]

...Wait, did you slap me as a test?!

[selfconcept]

Yeah.

Anyway, I'm done with this. Bye.

[ And so he goes. ]
