anyone who wants to know the human psyche will learn next to nothing from experimental psychology. he would be better advised to ... put away his scholar's gown, bid farewell to his study, and wander with human heart through the world. there, in the horrors of prisons, lunatic asylums and hospitals, in drab suburban pubs, in brothels and gambling-hells, in the salons of the elegant, the stock exchanges, socialist meetings, churches, revivalist gatherings and ecstatic sects, through love and hate, through the experience of passion in every form in his own body, he would reap richer stores of knowledge than text-books a foot thick could give him, and he will know how to doctor the sick with real knowledge of the human soul.

I think he’d like to see you, too. All the Hannas seem pretty fond of you, even if they don’t let on. *smiles* Narcissism. I can’t say I’ve had that happen with my other versions. And I think I’ve met one of the two you mention, the two who aren’t human. One’s a harpie or part harpie?

*nods and sucks in a breath* I know what you mean, Luce. I know exactly what you mean. In, um, the very least, you’re not alone in how you’re feeling. Maybe misery really does love company. *laughs bitterly*

It’s strange makin’ out with yerself to be honest. Though didn’t help I was a bit drugged still. *shrugs making it seem like it’s not a big deal* Yep tha’ harpie me is….odd..Not sure what’ta make of the vampire yet.

*struggles to stay calm, walking over to the open window to throw the cigarette out* I never thought I was alone in it…just…I told the little guy I wouldn’t let anythin’ happen…*shakes his head, laughing a bit colder than normal*

*starts and almost slips off of the sill* Okay, then. I was not expecting that. Nope. *swallows, her mouth having run dry* I’ve never done that and I never will, but that’s just me. You, um, were still a little loopy from the sleeping pills, then? And there’s a vampire version of you?

*stays at the window and watches his face carefully* Alone in the guilt and the regret, I meant, not in the pain. *gives him a sad smile* I’m pretty sure we all made that commitment to bean. He has that way about him, you know? You just want to protect him with everything you have. *looks at the floor* I wish I could have.
