Mark Hoffman told me the world is going to end if I don't stay with Amanda, but I have to pee and I'm really hungry.

[And that is where she has been for the past 24 hours. Sitting in Amanda's room. Panicking.]

[Added Later:]Nevermind. I'm okay now

It might make you feel better for a little while, but not for long.

Why on earth did he tell you that?

[whattheytellyou]

He said it was a figure of speech, but I don't understand.

[mrs_persson]

What, you mean like he was-

[Think, think, think.]

Do you think he was trying to compare it to the world ending?

That still seems a little extreme.

[whattheytellyou]

No. No, I don't think he was. He didn't say it like that. He said the world would end if I don't stay with her.

[So confused.]

And now he's yelling at me and says I'm in the wrong. I must be in the wrong, but I don't know what I did. I hope I can fix it.

I'm really glad I got to pee. And eat. I was really hungry. I didn't eat all day yesterday and then this happened so I probably overindulged.

Maybe it will all make sense once the flood is over. I have this nagging feeling today that there's something dreadfully wrong, but I can't seem to put my finger on it.

[whattheytellyou]

I hope it makes sense. Some people are acting very weird, like Hoffman and Lupin.

[mrs_persson]

Weirdly how? Apart from saying that the world will end when it won't, I mean.

[whattheytellyou]

They keep telling me they think I'm affected by the flood, but they're the ones who are saying things that aren't.

[mrs_persson]

...This is part of that uncomfortable feeling I'm talking about. The disconnect between people who say they aren't affected and what they're saying.

Something's off.
