At least it's going better than last time

I'm not sure if this is a psychic ability gone wrong or if something else is happening, but Hanamura Yosuke appears to have temporarily taken on the aspect of one of his less savory former overlays. I've currently got him and the Liminal animal he was attempting to use as an explosive in stasis, but I don't know if whatever this effect is can wear off or be canceled while time is stopped for him, and I really don't want to have to hurt him while he's like this, so assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Would locking him in a featureless room and pitching the key down a deep well until he comes to his senses do the trick?

[capital_asset]

With the entrance removed as well? Possibly, as long as he doesn't manage to tap into whatever Liminal skills Yosuke might have.

[amadine]

Naturally.

I can close off his access to any Liminal skills. It won't be permanent, but it should give us time for whatever this is to wear off, or for one of our psychic prodigies to dream up a solution.

[capital_asset]

How long can you sever his access for?

[amadine]

If I push it, up to two days, though if he's powerful in his own right he could break through sooner. I could also shut down all portal access to the room - well, almost indefinitely. What he does while he's inside doesn't much matter if he can't get out to inflict it on anyone else.

[capital_asset]

True.

[Hopefully he won't somehow manage to accidentally summon an ocean while he's in there.]

Fortunately, the effect seems to be restricted to him - or at least I haven't noticed any other Travelers reverting to former overlays.

[amadine]

That's a relief. The last go 'round with that bit of madness was bad enough.

[capital_asset]

It certainly was.

[He generally tries not to think about that.]
