Yeah, tell me about it. And who could blame him?

... I really hate this place sometimes.

These situations are, quite literally, a reality of the world we now reside in. They are unavoidable.

And every time you think about forgetting, Lachesis delivers a painful reminder.

[sorcerersupreme]

Painful if one does not remember that, ultimately, the majority of us would like to be returned to our respective worlds.

[incywincyhero]

But is it so wrong to want to make the most of what we have, while we're here? Or is that just ... playing into her mind games?

[sorcerersupreme]

Your alternative is, of course, to dwell on the facts of your abduction. I think either scenario gives her ample opportunity to glean some amount of sadistic pleasure.

I cannot say for certain which is better, Peter. Only that I have always found it easier to disengage.

[incywincyhero]

Yeah, well, Emotional Disengagement was always my worst subject back in school, so I guess I'll have to find another way.
