For the worse, in the case that we've seen. But even with their Mystic turned into Terror, after some... brief conflict... they still weren't completely lost. I hear they're doing well these days?
They haven't needed any help from the Sisterhood, in this case... Though our doors are always open to them. But I believe they have still had quite a bit of help getting settled.
Help can come from different places. It doesn't all have to be one group, or one person.
It's unfortunate. But that's why its so heartening that there are people like you. [ they are so :unsure: about his whole everything, but they do still believe that he has good intentions and cares about people! ]

Something begins to grow a little addled in his eyes. Maybe not him.]
It had touched him somehow, but I cannot say what he experienced. He didn't tell me.
[Why didn't Jayce tell him...?]

[ communication can solve so many problems. ]
Where I'm from, most people having something called their Mystic. Exposure to certain... complex outside elements... can turn this into Terror.

Is there no way to stop it, or to heal them completely?
no subject
... I think that we still carry the things that we heal from.
They are who they are now. But they are at peace, and we are at peace, and they can rebuild a new life with what is left.

Even so, those are the ones who I try to help the most. If they come to me. They're the ones the collective is for.

His glance at them is dubious, then he's quick to turn away.]
Others are always quick to destroy that sort of work.
[He can't even rouse the irritation he wants. Just a simple "people are people." But his hand does squeeze into a fist.]
The utopia I'll make will be different.
no subject

no subject
Where else will you go? And how do you intend to get there?
[ he's not a part of the program so they are not even sure they can offer the whole 'redemption for a second chance at life' thing! aaaa! ]
no subject
Home. The same way I arrived, if that was the case.

[ hm. ]
Maybe that's possible, if that's how you got here...? [ and not just by. dying. ]
no subject
