Some of you just can't seem to stop being upset over my methods. While I'm sure Rage is more than happy to let this continue, I'm here to propose a compromise.

I've noticed that many of you feel fear while asleep. After a time, I've discerned that this is due to hallucinations occurring while you are immobile, and I've decided to allow you all to experience more of these frightful hallucinations.

I think that sounds workable. You aren't put into any real physical danger, and I still get power. And, if you can see one another's hallucinations then you'll have more people who frightened of the same thing, which makes my job easier in the long run.

A handsome compromise, yes? Good?

Done.

Why?

...don't hurt my dog.

Now see, when you say things like that, it's practically an invitation.

He never did anything to you!

[lingeringfear]

And yet, here I am.

[There's a long, introspective pause.]

Thank you, for making this easy for me.

[dogsanddaughters]

I hate you.

[lingeringfear]

I suppose Rage would like to thank you as well, then.

He's very worthy of hating, don't you think? Even if he does half my job for me.

[dogsanddaughters]

No. [Miriam glares at her, wiping her eyes.] No, you don't get to pretend you're helping.

[firstreturned]

Who said anything about helping? I was just agreeing that Fear was whatever creative insult you people can come up with.

He's just bad. And you're bad too. You just think you're funny.
