There is a click, a soft urging, almost whispered too soft to hear, but you can sense that you are being beckoned somewhere, lead to an elaborate open door with wood panels and great curls of gold leaf. You cannot see what is beyond the door, but it smells sour and sharp. Before you can turn over the thought of should you or shouldn't you, if you are the kind, there is a quiet push at your back and through the door you go . . .

Join #supersafe, because I like being misleading. When in doubt, use this for flower meanings if you character is the type . . .

"Determination is not intuition and intelligence ... Within this space, Vincent exists in three states. You have been very close ... And very far."

[crueltobekind]

. . . Do you mean different ages or . . . ?

[dramatispersonae]

"Age may be one difference between them."

[crueltobekind]

What might others be?

[dramatispersonae]

"You wanted to see him. Does it matter which you find ... ?"

[crueltobekind]

No, but I should know what I'm looking for with all of them.

[dramatispersonae]

"What are you looking for?"

[crueltobekind]

The center. . . . And the part that keeps avoiding his family's tragedy.

[dramatispersonae]

"Where could they be ... " Her voice is light. She may be teasing you.

[crueltobekind]

The center is probably obvious, but the second one . . .

[dramatispersonae]

"Where would you place a large weight on a disc? The sides? The very edge?"

[crueltobekind]

The center or it'll all unbalance.

[dramatispersonae]

"That is one place ... "

[crueltobekind]

Where would you put it?

[dramatispersonae]

"I wonder ... "

[crueltobekind]

If you don't want to help then just say so.

[dramatispersonae]

She shifts her hands, placing the palms flat against each other.

"You are due much more. For now, yes, that is where I would put a single weight."

[crueltobekind]

Wait—I am? I didn't expect to actually be due anything here . . .

[or at least not for anything to admit it to him]

[dramatispersonae]

"Then, you aren't aware of the scales, the threads ... That is fine, too."

[crueltobekind]

Is it really fine to be like that . . .

Is there something I can do to understand better? Or see . . . whatever.

[dramatispersonae]

"To understand ... What? The threads?"

[crueltobekind]

Yes. What else?

[dramatispersonae]

"There could be much that you don't understand. To understand that better, then you would have to find the source ... As I claimed the severed threads between the two of you."

[crueltobekind]

. . . You what.

[dramatispersonae]

"Vincent asked a quest of me. One of the bonds that he decided to break to fulfill that quest was with you. While he may have reasons other than that quest for severing those bonds, if the bond is restored, then the binding will weaken."
