Superego

it's Superego's fifth birthday!! unfortunately I don't have a silly picture for it this time--it kind of only hit me right as I'm posting this! everything sappy I have to say I've already said before, but, five years! wow!!

those years went by fast, huh? not much further left to go, now.

>Sam: "What do these letters here stand for?"



"IPS stands for 'Integrated Psychological System.' That's the full name of the virtual reality program."
"There's also PTP, which is 'Personalized Test Piece,' a.k.a. your individual rooms."
"Finally, SRU is 'Subconscious Retainment Unit.' Below this room is where the shadows were supposed to be housed at the beginning of the sim."



"But you and they were very much out and about when I awoke...That's perhaps the biggest discrepancy between this session and how it was supposed to go."
"Oh, I, er, uhhhh..."
"Ideally, I would've woken first, come down here, made sure everything was set, and then let them out, waiting for everyone to wake up after me."

>ask if grey has one of those other versions like everyone else



Instead of voicing your newfound fears that you perhaps ruined everything, you ask this instead:

"So, do you have a shadow?"



"No. Why would I? I'm the therapist in this scenario, not a client."
"I guess it was a silly question..."



"Let's see here..."
