Garreth: ... Let's talk about me.
???: ... A great place to start. What about you?
Garreth: Well, from my own perspective, I wasn't really aware I had an alter ego. I've always thought I had kept things as reasonable as possible when it comes to my own self esteem.
Garreth: I haven't felt sad or mad or vengeful, or...
???: ...
Garreth: ..... Or really, anything.
???: And you haven't wondered why that was?
???: Where did you think your normal human feelings went?
???: Of course the nature of your work requires you to keep a rational mind of your every situation.
???: Emotions cloud judgement after all.
???: Pain and grief serve only as a detour from the main track.
???: Love causes distraction.
???: Fear brings hesitation.
???: You were right to give these to me.
Garreth: ...?
???: Part of me is your harboured emotions. All the ones you didn't want to keep.
???: When the need arrived, I would drip-feed whichever ones you felt necessary to feel for the time occurred.
???: But never too much. As instructed of course.
???: This is why I may have seemed invisible to you.
Garreth: .... Wow.
???: I do not have excitement or happiness however.
???: Courage, cheerfulness, anxiety, etc...
???: These highly reactive emotions exist within Tinkerskull.
???: As per instructions, you wished to have these feelings exist in a way that you can feel them but also have them disconnected from us.
Garreth: ... Sounds about right.
Garreth: You seem to be very willing to follow instruction.
???: Of course.
???: The first clue would have been how respectful Tinkerskull addresses you.
???: It isn't only myself.
???: We are like this as we understand the mind under utmost will, working in tandem makes us stronger than any foe.
???: We can complete any task if all you have to do is give the order.
???: You Garreth, Are the leader.
???: I'm very glad you've found the need to discover what makes you tick.
Garreth: ...What else is there?
Garreth: Also... It's very dark right now...
???: Hmm...
???: Well, besides the fact you are the version of us that only uses neutral emotions.
???: ...You are conscious of very little compared to us.
Garreth: What do you mean?
???: Well, within me lies the ability to recreate you or destroy you completely.
???: This ability is brought about with your permission.
???: To truly understand the nature of our work here.
???: You are very dedicated in finding a way out of this labyrinth of perception.
???: So much so, that you decided it would be more effective to delude yourself of the progress.
???: Tinkerskull and I... Know a lot more than we let on.
???: This stems from protecting you from your biggest fear, and my lunatic trigger.
Garreth: ... Your what?
Garreth: I don't understand these terms that have been brought up.
Garreth: I feel like I should be well informed but--
Garreth: .......
???: Figured it out, eh?
Garreth: You.
???: Correct. These things of my nature only serve to hinder progress.
???: You decided it would be more effective to keep things related to your trigger a secret.
???: Thus, the terms used, what a trigger is and means, and the like.
???: All of this information could backfire once reminded.
???: Which also explains why Tinkerskull isn't as informed as she should be.
Garreth: This is very weird.
???: It's not all that weird if you think about it.
???: Take notice how I'm the only thing there seems to be right now.
???: You're completely zen.
???: Your thoughts have plateaued and we've become in-sync.
Garreth: .... So you know things I don't know?
???: In a manner of speaking, yes.
???: But technically, anything I know, you also know. We're no different.
???: There is quite a large disparity between our knowledge.
???: When it comes to applying knowledge, I'm the one helping you.
???: Anything to do with your abilities stems from me.
Garreth: .... You're like the deep web.
???: ... Yes!
???: A perfect example. Is there something else you'd like to discuss?
