Can someone come to the caves? I need help.

I think Hana’s dead.

Okay. Thanks.

It’s weird, ‘cause there’s really no benefit in pretending to be Hana now that most people know her identity, and it’s not like I have to worry about what she thinks now but this is her body. You know?

[chalicejoker]

Yeah, everything about this is...off.

Whenever my overlays have died, it's been uncomfortable enough getting mistaken for them without actually being in their bodies.

[desperate_times_right]

This is how they used to make good citizens. Back under the Protectorate.

[chalicejoker]

...a civilization like that deserves to die, really.

[desperate_times_right]

I guess normally there was like ... a thing that controlled you, once you were empty, but it’s gone now so it woke me up instead.

[chalicejoker]

...that just makes all this sound even worse somehow.

[desperate_times_right]

Trust me, it feels even worse than that.
