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.

[mirrite]

Never being sure whether your feelings are really your own. Not knowing how much of you is you and how much of you is the result of someone else's thoughts and emotions. Feeling every single bit of self-hatred and misery that the person you're linked to feels until you get to the point where you would do anything to make it stop, even killing people whose only crime was existing.

[And no, he's not proud of that.]

[afflictionmods]

[thinking emoji...]

Does this bond cause the same compulsive feelings for you?

[mirrite]

[That actually brings him up short for a moment.]

... it's just as unpleasant.

[Which is neither an affirmation nor a denial.]

[afflictionmods]

That's... not really an answer to that question, sir.

[mirrite]

Oh? What kind of answer were you looking for, then? Do enlighten me.

[afflictionmods]

A yes or no? As to whether you feel compulsions or not.

[mirrite]

Not the same, no. That enough of an answer for you?

[afflictionmods]

Th-thank you... That's an acceptable answer, yes...

[mr. grimm you are very intimidating...]

[mirrite]

Glad to hear it.

[HE WAS CREATED TO PROTECT, AFTER ALL...]

[afflictionmods]

Uh.

[sweating]

Is it okay if I ask you a few more questions...?

[mirrite]

... yeah, go ahead. It's not like you don't know what I am.

[No point in hiding it now.]

[afflictionmods]

[STILL SWEATING...]

Um.

[Give him a moment to get his thoughts together.]

Do you feel like this program has been fair for all participants...?

[mirrite]

[The most flat look of all time.]

... what do you think the answer to that is going to be.

[afflictionmods]

I-it’s still a question I’m s-supposed to ask, but you don’t… need to answer… sir…

[exofractured]

[Well. That's sure loaded. What does he even do with that.]
