[ Mako takes a bit to respond to that, because old familiar bitterness rises like bile in his throat and he has to swallow around it. He wishes, so much, that he'd been able to tell his parents how much it meant to have them around. Losing them, though, was unthinkable: Mako wasn't exactly prepared for them to suddenly be gone.
He got to tell them, or some version of them, back in September when their pale forms hovered on his porch. ]
Hopefully he feels the same way.
You were talking to her when she was already
[ What is the word for this? One Mako learned recently, maybe: ]
[He's very aware of how lucky he is, at least. It's nothing short of a miracle that his father survived the amber. By all logical reason it should have killed him.]
Yes. I don't think possessed is the right word. I mean- I don't think so anyway. But she was already convinced we were against her at that point.
What do you think is the right word? Possession isn't really something that happens back in our world but it's been brought up a few times here. I'm trying to work out the mechanics of it. What it means.
I don't really know what the right word is. I only know very vaguely what's going on with her at the moment- half of it is guesswork. All I know is that a demon is involved and is pushing her down a dangerous road.
I don't think she's as far gone as to call it possessed yet. Or... at least I hope not.
Demons do seem to be involved, but at least one person here has been possessed by a demon and seems to have fixed it, so it's definitely possible. Even if she is possessed.
That's good at least. Hopeful. I don't want to give up on her if I can help it.
Here's hoping! I can't do anything about it until I go home again, anyway- whenever that would be. Unless she shows up here, I guess. That's always possible.
I don't. I have people here I need to find a better answer for than going home. Some people don't have a home to go to. Or they go home to die. I want to give them another option.

You don't want to go home until you've finished figuring this place out, right?
no subject
I don't. I have people here I need to find a better answer for than going home. Some people don't have a home to go to. Or they go home to die. I want to give them another option.
