I'll... I'll be okay.

[He leans against the wall. The pain and the heat still haven't stopped. It's a little easier now though, since he's used to it.]

It's not so bad... really.

[He tries to smile a little, but can't manage it.]

[boundinchains]

... I see.

[ He understands this, and does not push the subject further. ]

This is a very difficult trial, I'm afraid... for all of you. I do not know how much longer it will last, or what will happen... usually, I can tell these sorts of things, but my power is... cut off, in this place.

[miseris_socios]

It is for a lot of us.

[He pulls his knees into his chest. He's so tired... he just wants this all to stop.]

We'll figure something out, though... we have to.

[boundinchains]

... I would think that she would not like this at all.

[ It's quite obvious by 'she' he means 'Nemesis'. ]

It is injustice. To rob people of their decisions...

[miseris_socios]

It is. And I'd summon her, but I can't feel as emotional as I normally do, even if I had my Evoker.

[He feels dull, useless... dead. Except he had already died here, twice. Feeling like this was worse.]

[boundinchains]

... Death is never something one should fear. This is far worse. Life... is always harder to cope with.

[ His eyes narrow ever so slightly, an odd quality to them. ]

That may be so, but it will at least give you a more level head... wouldn't it? We need to do everything possible to be uncooperative, even if it is hard to stir the wind around us, if enough of it blows at once, the leaves may be moved...

[miseris_socios]

Yeah. Anything we can... I want to help. I just don't know how much use I'd be.

[He doesn't even care if he's talking to an illusion, or if anyone hears him. Talking is keeping him relatively sane, at least.]

[boundinchains]

... Good. I am certain that is how quite a few others who can are feeling, as well. I am afraid we do not have much time...

[ He is certain, once enough people are changed, any sort of rebellion ideas will be ceased. ]

... Truthfully, I think that, perhaps, he could stand to realize he is very wrong about changing people. Little things aren't much, I'm afraid, but even those will help. He doesn't necessarily realize any of you have any sort of tolerance to this sort of thing, does he?

[ Even just... pretending you were bad at what you were doing could be enough to help. You know, whatever could be done, really. ]

[miseris_socios]

No, I don't think he does. Even if he does, he doesn't seem to care...

[His mind is working - like he said to Yu, he doesn't know how much this guy knows about Persona. Hmm.]

[A question does occur to him, though. A few, but he'll start with one.]

What's your name?

[boundinchains]

[ A noticeable pause, before a smile. There is, however, a glint to his eyes, as though the question is utterly amusing to him. ]

... Pharos. We're already acquainted, so you don't need to worry about that.

[ Teehee. ]

[miseris_socios]

... We are? How?

[He's pretty sure he doesn't remember meeting anyone this creepy like him...]
