Take your time, I just wanted to be sure you were alright. I'm home for the "night" so I'm not going anywhere.

[ The actual question he wanted to ask, typed and deleted several times over. He'll settle for this for now. ]

See anything interesting this time?

[ Question briefly diverted. Fucking what? ]

Is that how it works? Can you negotiate with... creatures to manifest them as personas?

Wait, can you even have more than one persona?

[ An ego split enough for multiple personas isn't exactly outside the realm of possibility from a psychological standpoint... For example, extremely stressful or traumatic circumstances could easily cause that to occur, especially at a young age.

Just for example, of course.

Huh. That's fascinating, even just as a theoretical... I have to admit that I'm eager to return to our reality for countless reasons, but chief among them is to be able to learn more about this phenomenon. As always, I really appreciate you sharing what you know with me.

Shadows in a cognitive world. That's a little on the nose. Sometimes our conversations make me imagine Jung rolling over in his grave.

I can't imagine having another persona that would suit me as well as mine does. Could you?

[ Akechi Goro, if anyone can enter the cognitive world without even something as helpful and simple as a phone app, it's gonna be him. Literally! ]

I didn't know there was that much variance in the legends about Robin Hood. That's a fascinating dichotomy.

If I can add one thing... You know your own mind better than anyone, but just from how I've come to know you, I can say there's much more to you than your celebrity status and image. Whether Robin Hood suits you or not probably has little to do with that.

If that were the case, maybe your soul would manifest as Poirot. Or Detective Conan!

Hah, I'm kidding, obviously.

Anyway, to be fair, I don't know very much about Azathoth either - and obviously I didn't have any time to research between its awakening and my arrival here. I only know it's a primordial god. The suitability is more of a general feeling I have than anything backed by literary evidence, I suppose.

It's all so strange to discuss. I don't know how you went about things alone, even for a short amount of time.

Hmm...

What I just said about your image goes for my profession as well. Azathoth predates that by years. Honestly, it predates any interest in helping others beyond those closest to me.

I appreciate any kind words you have to say about my altruism, but I also think it's being given undue weight.

Hopefully when this nightmare clears up and we have a little breathing room, I can tell you the full story of why Azathoth came to me.


[ Or as full as it can be, anyway. And if he does, there's no avoiding talking about the memory they shared.

It twists in his chest weakly, too tired to be frightened of the notion. It feels nearly impossible right now that this will ever end.

Which, well–

I have another question entirely unrelated to personas and the cognitive world, if it's alright. I don't want to distract you on your way out of the woods.

Do you intend to attempt to take on the Green Knight?

Yes.

[ A couple minutes of ... appearing, disappearing, reappearing as he says too much, not enough, untrue things, sentimental things. Nothing correct enough to send until he lands on: ]

I've spent enough time feeling helpless.

[ Over the past two weeks. During his captivity thus far in Somnius. Throughout his entire life. Everything, all of it. ]

I won't tell you to stay safe, I know that isn't possible here. But when you do go, please try not to die. I can heal everything else up to that point, so give him hell.

I'm making stir fry, whenever you come home.

[ As he hiked a cliffside with Venat, before this nightmare, even before the labyrinth, he told her: Back in our reality, Akechi-kun and I never would have had reason to meet, and he's become someone important to me here.

As he dried off outside the lake with Luz, discussing dreamers who have left and dreamers who still could, he told her: If my housemate was taken, I would be bereft.

It wasn't a consolation prize meant to make the circumstances of their captivity seem less worrisome. And it wasn't lip service meant to empathize and further a bond growing between counselor and patient. It was the truth.

It sits heavy somewhere deep in the center of his sternum now. Bright and warm.

Thank you, Akechi. Anything else I could say in response would be inadequate.

Actually, I will say one thing...

So you believe me now that the tentacles are friendly! I wasn't lying to you back in my dream, was I?

See you soon.
