#pennedpossibilities 907 MC phobias or irrational fears

Given what she has gone through I am not sure any fear is irrational. Maybe something like chemtrails or nanobots.

While not phobia level, shadows and dark scare her. A nightlight isn't enough. All the lights need to be on. But again what […]

#pennedpossibilities 905 Is your MC responsible for anyone other than themselves?

Ume: I feel like I am. But periodically, I get a wake-up call that's ego speaking. Unless you mean mutual responsibility. I like to think our whole polycule is responsible for all its members.

Ume: I wasn't before, but since the events of the last year, I get scared being alone. What if everyone has been spirited away? Tomo says I should go to the hospital and talk to a doctor. He should talk.
