A perilous rock

[ejbronte]

Since my arrival at Eupheme I have been angry, grieving, bitter, depressed, frustrated, sad, in denial and vicious to anyone who tried to get near me

I think the mansion was there to teach us something. To make us learn. Evidently, albeit to your own sorrow and my sympathy on your behalf, you were meant to learn something of your brother... I had an experience myself where I learned something, though of a very different nature. Who would make such a place, how we might have all come to find it- that I don't know. Those have been my thoughts so far, at least without going into what my own experience was. I'll tell you about it, if it will help you figure out more or you are simply curious. As always, of course, while you don't ask for comfort now, you also know where to find that. Incidentally, I have something for you.

The land we went to seemed to be built from our minds, and as I have accepted that something moves us about like pawns on a chessboard so we were moved to that place to see what would happen. I don't know if I believe we were meant to learn something, if by learning you mean progress in any way. But perhaps to see how we would react to the ghosts of our past, yes, that would supply our unknown puppet masters amusement. If there are masters, and not merely supernatural children laughing at us and our plights.

Sorry, Victor. I'm still bitter about reincarnation. I try not to show it, but I'm struggling to let go of my faith in a merciful, loving God. I cannot believe it, but I cannot reconcile myself to the loss, either.

Oh, but Emily, I know what you mean, concerning God. This is not so strange to me. Don't apologize. Please, let's see each other tonight.

I know we don't know each other; I'm too new to have names to all the faces. So...formalities: I'm Bill, you know me from such inane campaigns as Dot for Homecoming Queen.

Now that that's out of the way...I'm good at taking vicious and angry, and I'd like to talk about all this. If you're willing. No sympathy or faux comfort, but...understanding would be a nice change of pace from avoiding the issue, which is what I've mostly been doing the last two weeks. Maybe we can meet at the Round Table some evening you have free next week?

I don't know this Dot person. Is it Homecoming time again? I'm afraid I never pay attention to extracurricular school matters unless there's a dance involved.

I'm not sure a complete stranger can offer much clarity. However, no harm in meeting, I suppose.
