You begin to see more people all around you—flickering, as if the layers are merging into one, the separations between them vanishing.

It—was perhaps too verbose for a warning.

*straightening up a bit.*

Well--it helped. And it's gone, right...?

It is. How do you feel?

Kind of beat up.

Also really, really glad.

You do not feel—ah—anything within your mind? Any strange lingering sensations?

...only what I let out to fight it, but that's something else entirely.

Regardless . . . I apologize. And I am glad that we were able to rescue you.

Is there anything that I can assist you with? I—cannot heal or anything like that, but I would like to help in whatever way I can.

Re: Finishhhh himmmm

[identity profile] antreegonist.livejournal.com 2011-09-06 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
No, it's--um--it's fine. You've done a lot already.
