The second mouse always gets the cheese

[Sorin Jacob Petrescu]

I don't know

I read in a book that one can only see darkness
If there's darkness inside

So I wondered...

[Neyen Suarez]

Huh?
What does that even mean?

Like... it takes one to know one? That kind of thing?

[Sorin Jacob Petrescu]

Something like that. I'm only guessing, though.

I suppose as long as it lets me help other people, I shouldn't complain

[Neyen Suarez]

So wait,
you're seeing darkness in me
so you think there's darkness in you?

[Sorin Jacob Petrescu]

There's something in me that lets me see the darkness in other people

But always only terrible things. Death.
It must be dark, don't you think?

[Neyen Suarez]

you
you never see anything good?

[Sorin Jacob Petrescu]

no

never anything good

[Neyen Suarez]

every single day?
how do you deal with it?

[Sorin Jacob Petrescu]

I don't know

It used to only be once in a while
Lately it's gotten worse

The only thing I can do is tell people but most of them think I'm out of my mind

sometimes I wonder if they're right

[Neyen Suarez]

That kind of thing can get worse?
Does it mean you're getting more powerful?
Or.
Like whatever you get your power from is getting more powerful?
Kinda scary to think about.

[Sorin Jacob Petrescu]

...I think I'd rather not think about it...

[Neyen Suarez]

It's not going to go away just because you stop thinking about it

[Sorin Jacob Petrescu]

I know

But
I can't do anything about it

[Neyen Suarez]

Are you sure?
Aren't there like
cleansing rituals and stuff?

[Sorin Jacob Petrescu]

I don't know

Before today I didn't even think this was
Real
