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.

You're replacing physical damage with psychological damage.

Is that somehow worse?

[watashinonamaewa]

The human mind is easily traumatized and does not heal quickly. Sometimes that damage is permanent.

[lingeringfear]

Damage to your bodies can be permanent too, I'm told.

Though here, Hope can fix that. So would you prefer bodily trauma instead?

[watashinonamaewa]

[ Of course she would. She wouldn't really feel it. Not exactly something she wants to brag about and make a situation somehow worse. ]

I prefer not to answer that.

[lingeringfear]

That's fair.

Will that be all?
