i think maybe like a 7?

idk if im honest its hard to tell the difference between a 1 and a 10

[guylining]

ok
that doesn't help me so

i want to talk to you but you're already dealing with a lot & i don't want to put more on you but i also don't want to keep things from you and it's hard to know what's the best thing

[extent]

you talking to me about stuff is never going to be a problem, no matter whats going on

[guylining]

that might depend on what i'm saying

i talked to thorn

[extent]

about what?

[guylining]

everything

who he is, how this happened
my future

i wanted to know if people here would be safe from him
and if i would be.

he's like a year on from where i am.

i believe him, nick. i think he's still the thorn i was with all that time
he's just also ineroth, deep inside
but it's thorn who's in charge

[extent]

do you think it'll stay that way?

[guylining]

i don't know

he doesn't know

but i know i can't give up on him. i'm gonna see if there's something we can do to give some assurance

he said that for 8 months ineroth was in charge and he hunted me. but then at home, me, anna and my sister used a spell to put thorn in charge

[extent]

you know him
so if you say he's safe i believe you

if you need help with it, i'll do whatever i can

[guylining]

we're gonna find out if he's safe, i think that's where i am

he doesn't want me to be afraid
i am afraid, though. i want to still have thorn i'm just

it's hard to reconcile it all, you know? it's hard to reconcile the two of them as one person

[extent]

how separate are they? are thorn and ineroth separate beings, were they always one and the same? how far back does this go?

[guylining]

he said that ineroth shaved thorn away a long time ago

when i first found thorn he was imprisoned and i freed him. he couldn't remember his past, but lots of the captive spirits there were like that. i thought he was one of them

but he wasn't. he was the humanity and goodness that ineroth blocked away
he says he feels like he's both of them but also like he's something new. like a combination of them

[extent]

i think like
no matter how responsible or not you feel like thorn is for ineroth's actions or like vice verse or w/e

there's no uncomplicating this situation, it's messy. it's probably going to be messy for a while
you don't have to know how you feel about it right now, you can take your time. it's okay if its hard, or if youre confused, or even if youre not
theres no playbook for shit like this yknow?

[guylining]

yeah, i know.

i still love him
he's still
like he talks like the person i love
i see thorn in him

i can't walk away from that. he's the demon but that's not all that he is
if there's even one shred of the person i love still in there then i've got to fight for him

[extent]

i thought you'd say that

i love you. whatever you need for that fight, i've got you

[guylining]

i don't know what i need yet

but thank you. i love you too nick

i promise i'm going to stay safe

[extent]

yeah it doesnt sound like something thats going to have answers right away
or easy solutions

you dont have to promise that. especially not here
just like
keep talking to me, no matter whats going on

[guylining]

okay
i will, i promise.

do you want to talk about your 7?

[extent]

oli woke up

[guylining]

when

[extent]

not long ago

its
i dont even know where to start

[guylining]

jesus i should go see him

where is he?

start anywhere, nick

[extent]

home

nate he died. and he got brought back

[guylining]

i thought you said that was highly taboo for your magic

like they wouldn't come back the same

[extent]

yeah. it's basically the worst thing that can happen to a witch

hes still like
i mean its oli. he's still him
