...'to begin with'?
interesting that Sam got his glitch on more or less at the same time he reacted in a way that's more in line with his pre-epiphany attitude
so... people being people is the cause of the breakdown?

> Make a choice.

Next week's update will be a little delayed as I am going on a weekend trip.

>Stop crying, first of all.



"I'm just...overreacting."
"He doesn't hurt me..."
-then why are you crying
-then why are you here
"I..."

>Helen: This is all too much! Have a sit down.



"I'm depressed. That's all."



-and why do you think youre depressed





"Doesn't it just happen to people?"
"I'm just...looking to cope!"

> And where has just coping gotten you in the past? Can you honestly say your life is better for all the coping you did?

Confront your shadow, but listen to it too

You're making some progress! But listen to your shadow, it doesn't want to hurt you, its words may be harsh but its designed for your cure. Its probably best for now if you stick to answering its questions until we get more we can work off of to say towards it.

>Didn't he take you here? You're sure this isn't what he had in mind...!

no, no, okay, good ideas that will not hurt helen

>"What am I supposed to DO? I can't just leave, after all these years!"

>Have your children ever...said anything?

Hey everyone! What started as a weekend trip turned into the world's worst cold that proceeded to hang on for the next two-ish weeks. That's my excuse. Now back to regular updates!

>And where has just coping gotten you in the past? Can you honestly say your life is better for all the coping you did?



You don't know! That's a difficult question! You're in a better position than when you were a child, at least!

>Have your children ever...said anything?





You try not to let them see when you're in a bad mood. They don't need to worry about you.



They don't need to...no one needs to...

You don't want to burden anyone.

You don't...



youre not worth it

>"What am I supposed to DO? I can't just leave, after all these years!"



-yes you can
"There's nothing else for me!"
"I don't have a job! I can't drive! Where would I go?!"
"I can't drag anyone else into this! I can't...I can't!"



"And"
"I know"
"He wouldn't let me go..."

> If you found someone else in the same situation as you, wouldn't you want to help them out somehow? Wouldn't you think they deserved to feel like they and their feelings mattered?

>"How AM I supposed to leave? What's this solution you think I'm missing?"

> Are you so afraid of him? How's he supposed to stop you?

> Does he treat your children the way he treats you?

> Didn't Percy come along to be dragged into this mess? There are people here who can help! Who want to help!

>"How AM I supposed to leave? What's this solution you think I'm missing?"



-i

There is a pause.

-i dont know for sure
-you dont know for sure
-we need to
-cooperate
"Yes, that's the 'goal' here, right?"
"But everything feels so impossible...Oh, listen to me! When did I get to be so defeatist?"

>Didn't Percy come along to be dragged into this mess? There are people here who can help! Who want to help!



"I suppose I could start with the people who would potentially want to help...Ah, I just feel so ashamed talking about it. I can just hear them now...'I had no idea! You seem so happy; are you sure you aren't just exaggerating?'"
".......?"
"Doesn't that seem possible?"
-only one way to find out
"..............?!"
"Mr. O'Neil seemed nice enough. But he's here to help himself too. Should I really impose on that?"
"...........H...........n...........!!"



"Where did he go, anyway?"
"......Helen.....!!..."
-down there
"What?"



"Percival?!"
"Oh, thank goodness! I was beginning to think you'd never hear me!"

Can you do anything about those vines?

Are you hurt?

>There's not too much of a drop if he gets let go, right?

Pull him up!

Oh, I like how even her shadow is doubtful. It's a very delicate and upsetting situation...

> Can your shadow move the vines? I mean, this is her place, right?

"Just keeping 'hanging' in there!"

Helen's art style is so good and pure I'm going to die

> Rescue him effortlessly.

>There's not too much of a drop if he gets let go, right?



Um...

>Can you do anything about those vines?



No?!

>Can your shadow move the vines? I mean, this is her place, right?
