Summary:
Charles has run this con before. The long con, Hank likes to call it, even though Charles still sometimes tries to think of con as being the shortened form of confession. After all, isn’t truth one of the most solid bases to build a lie on? Because there is always some semblance of truth here, in the tangents and fragments, Charles never straying too far from the set narrative.
This is a dream. This is a choice. This is you, with your memories weighing you down.
