[...] What's he like?

Charming and evasive

That makes sense. [...] Well. Hopefully, he won't find much traction around here. I doubt the locals appreciate him talking about the Asphodels like that, if nothing else. And if the group stays small, maybe it'll just dissipate?

Yeah hopefully

Hey I'm glad they gave you the okay to be back up and about to normal and everything

[...] You don't seem think so, though?

Thanks. Me too. I'm not all that good at 'taking it easy'.

I don't know [...] it doesn't take a lot to convince like True Believers to do something wild even if there's not a lot of them you know?

Oh man but taking it easy can be one of life's great pleasures

[...] Yeah. That's probably true. I don't know what a group like that might even be after, though.

It's nice! But [...] there's always something more important that needs doing, you know?

I don't either really it's probably nothing and I'm overreacting cult stuff and pseudo cult stuff just kind of puts me on edge tbh

I guess but taking care of yourself is important too

Why do you think it puts you on edge? [...] Not that it's unreasonable. I don't think it is. I just mean [...] more than other things?

[...] I know that's true. But it's always easier to say to other people than to yourself somehow.

Oh [...] My dad was sort of in a like internet cult for rifts before he disappeared [...] Okay not really 'sort of' like he was fully in it [...] I didn't really think of it quite that way except Rory said something like he and Rory were sort of internet friends but that's how he understood my dad's whole thing that it was a 'cult' and now it's kind of the only way I think about it too [...] sorry idk this is probably weird to hear about

Yeah that's def true I hope you're taking care though even if it feels like it's just sitting around

[...] I'm sorry, Linus. [...] Not knowing where your dad is has to be so hard even without it being tangled up in [...] all that. And now there's a group like this on our doorstep. I can't imagine how that feels.

But, for what it's worth, I don't think that experience means you can't trust how they come across to you.

And please don't apologize. You can always talk to me if you want to.

I think I'm just worried for them like I hope they know what they're getting into

[...] Thanks [...] And I know like you're easy to talk to and I trust you [...] I think it's just never not going to be a weird topic

I hope so too. [...] Do you think it'd do any good to talk to them? Or are they too [...] 'True Believer'?

I get that. Some things are just difficult to talk about.

I don't even know what I would say [...] what would you say to them do you think

I don't know. [...] They've all got to have lives outside of the 'Children of Persephone'. People that care about them or things that matter to them. So maybe try to remind them of that and help them find some grounding in that? In something more real than everything they're being told. [...] But I know that's easier said than done. Things like that feel like a community for people.

[...] I'm sorry. I shouldn't be talking about this. I don't know enough about it.

Don't apologize man I asked you it's okay [...] and the community thing makes a lot of sense [...] plus like rift and liminal stuff legit is really cool and amazing of course people are gonna get obsessed about it and want answers and stuff [...] even when they do have lives and people and all that
