... it's- part of the abuse cycle, apparently. I've read up on it, even before this.

[maddest]

That's what reminded me of it.

[Agreeing.]

Hopefully you don't end up giving your ears to the ghost of some resurrected chicken.

[al_truism]

... wh-what-?!

[maddest]

It happens! Look at me! They come back to life as monsters, some magical little girl gets angry that they're missing body parts, and suddenly someone is missing an eye and no one has a nice time.

[al_truism]

... oh, that makes more sense now.

[maddest]

Vincent turned out to be a bit of a sociopath, unfortunately.

[al_truism]

...

Alois- still has a sense of right and wrong, and compassion. Maybe I can help.

[maddest]

Yes, I think if anyone could it would be you.

[al_truism]

... thank you. It gives me a little more heart to hear it.

[maddest]

I'd better get back. People to yell at, resistances to coordinate.

[al_truism]

Resistance-?

[maddest]

To the world itself, I suppose.

[al_truism]

This world, or all worlds?

[maddest]

This one. I just mean I'm poking the protection squad into recruiting again, given events.

[al_truism]

[He gives a breathless, tired laugh.]

There needs to be a leader. I can back them, but I can't...

[maddest]

I know. I wouldn't be able to either.

[al_truism]

I'll figure something out. I'd appreciate being able to talk to you about ideas, but I won't draw you in.

[maddest]

I'm already drawn in, Alphonse. I've been elbow deep in every crisis here for the last year. I don't care how popular or not my participation is, I can't keep out of it any longer.

[al_truism]

You're not hated, Xerxes.

[maddest]

Well, I'm not uncomplicated, am I?

[al_truism]

True- but that mostly serves you well.

[maddest]

You flatter far too much.

Talk to you soon.

[al_truism]

You too. See you.
