Might as well consider it night. You should get some rest.

I'm used to running on less sleep than most. There's too much to consider to be sleeping right now, don't you agree?

And that's why you're stalking the hallway now?

Yes. Perceptive of you.

But you're out here too. Going somewhere?

That's what the hallways are for.

[ well, keep walking, he'll just wander in the same direction?? ]

Two weeks, two possessions. And the catch-22 of needing to sleep with people to survive, but not knowing who was possessed in the first place and if they'll curse us in the process. I wonder what'll be next.

I'm still not completely sure if the affliction being passed around is related to the demons. Otherwise, it becomes a little too easy to figure out who's possessed, if we can just trace it back to the source.

If it's not related to the demons, then where do you suggest it's coming from?

We know there's more than one force in play here. After all, it's unlikely the demons are the ones who brought us here and set up methods on how to deal with them.

Groups of opposing entities all with different goals? Or those spirits that keep babbling in the ear of that little guide of ours?

[ he leans his head back, looking up at the ceiling. ]

Whoever brought us here has hedged their bets a few times now, if all this is the truth. Three times, was it?

The spirits are involved somehow, but we can't forget that when they were alive, someone else was pulling their strings.

Hard to say.

And they'll continue to pull strings until one of the groups gets it right. We're just speculating until we find proof of their existence or involvement though.

Looks that way. We're getting info at their pace.

Which means we'll always be a step behind unless we play them at their own game.

Though it doesn't seem as though we have the pieces for that yet.

Catch-22. We need to be one step ahead, but we're still wandering around in the dark.

Things are always worse before they can get better.

With three people dead and two potentially possessed and wearing a friendly skin, I would say thing aren't optimal right now.

They can still definitely get worse.

So much for positive thinking, hm?

I believe we can get through this.

But I don't think we should expect this week to be the biggest struggle, by any means.

Oh, more people will die. That's a given. Especially with no way to track that demon running around out there.

And the demon can get crueler still.

I wonder if it holds grudges.

It seems capable of that level of thinking. In which case, everyone who pressed it is at an increased risk.
