Lucidstuck II

Lucia: If you believe that your reflection is the one holding back Ira, then you must accept that she/you has also stated a condition that she would be willing to return her. Even if you don't believe her/you it might be constructive to entertain that notion. She/you mentioned part of that being "pushing forward", perhaps you should ask about that?

Lucia: ..... Hold on now.
???: Hm?
Lucia: You said I have to push forward, tell me more...
???: Well you need to leave childish things behind. Like imaginary friends coming to save you.
Lucia: SHE'S--....
Lucia: ..... Go on...
???: Oh, very good! Holding your tongue is a difficult skill, I'm glad you accepted the challenge to master it.
???: Ira is... Very much you as she is me.
???: She's the comforting parts of us, very motherly tone....
???: Able to pep us up when we need it, and console us when we're sad.
???: You needed a figure like this as you were still young and scared. Having had her you grew cocky and brash.
???: You thought you were tough shit, and strong enough to prove it.
???: If anyone were to cross you or Derrick, well they'd have to go through me.
???: But all that changed when you awoke.
???: Suddenly years of growth were thrust on you in one sitting. You had really no time to adjust.
???: So you clung to your "safety blanket" as if it had anything to do with the power you always had.
???: You thought you were weak, pathetic and defenseless...
???: Frankly my feelings were hurt. Just a little.
???: When I said that I was her older sister, I mean that how you see her, it was me you were looking at. We're closely related.
???: You always looked at me, even if you weren't able to tell.
???: I am the aspect of you that fears nothing.
???: Although Ira is excellent at mirroring your feelings as a way to show empathy, we do not feel fear.
???: How could we? We're supposed to be strong.
???: Someone you can feel safe with.
???: You know it too... Don't you?
Lucia: Y-yeah... When I'm with Ira I'm so much braver.
Lucia: I feel like I can take on the worst of them in this place, and come out on top every time.
???: That's me!
Lucia: But without her, I'm terrified...
???: I'm the one who lends you the courage to fight and to never back down.
???: But.... Hehe, I'm quite reckless too. So Ira is necessary.
???: She's our restraint, keeping us from destroying ourselves in blind passion.
???: But just because she's asleep doesn't mean she's not still here.
???: You're a whole person. While we're just fragments.
???: Big fragments... But still, not whole.
???: I wish you wouldn't think of yourself so negatively without her.
???: Please remember I'm here too!
Lucia: I'm... still trying to wrap my head around this.
Lucia: Early just now, Derrick gave me a hug and my fear just evaporated... But you guys don't feel fear, what?
???: You feel fear, you're the whole. We're just fragments.
???: Derrick's hugs aren't only comforting, He and I work well together.
Lucia: Oh?
???: If you have trouble with keeping your shit together, I can help you out.
???: Just a little bump of fearlessness can go a long way. I can help clear your head and cause you to focus more clearly.
???: If we talk more often, maybe we can see if I can do more for you.
Lucia: I see...
Lucia: Hey, if you're me, like you claim... Then I'm just talking to myself?
???: Yep.
???: My personality might seem different than yours because there is a bit of time difference that you're experiencing.
???: But we are the same.
Lucia: Hmmm...
???: Right now you seem in a good place to continue this conversation, you could do well to take a page from Ira's book.
Lucia: Heh....
???: What else would you like to talk about?
