[ Some of you might recognize yourselves in the common room of the Gulgallana dorms, although that may not be immediately obvious, even to those of you who’ve been there before. The light is low and coming from a few torches lit around the room. The ones still going are guttering. ]

Is there no other way to coexist with him?

Re: Mirror Room

[hardertheyfall]

Depends on what you mean by coexist.

[ Because that's kind of what he thinks he's doing now. ]

Re: Mirror Room

[cihuatlatoani]

Accept that he is part of you, without letting him master you.

Re: Mirror Room

[hardertheyfall]

I'm pretty sure if I tried that he would eat me.

Re: Mirror Room

[cihuatlatoani]

I think that you must work slowly, over time.

Re: Mirror Room

[hardertheyfall]

... How? How can I possibly make peace with a monster?

Re: Mirror Room

[cihuatlatoani]

Truthfully, I do not know. I have not lived your life. If you think it right to imprison him, that may be best. But I also know that it is important to live in balance, as difficult as that may be.

Balance means knowing your selves, the beings that exist within you, without being dominated by them or their passions. I can say with certainty, that I do not live entirely in balance myself.

Re: Mirror Room

[hardertheyfall]

That sounds nice... but what happens if I get completely out of balance? No one will forgive me if he gets out and hurts someone.

Re: Mirror Room

[cihuatlatoani]

I wish I had a sage answer for that question, but I do not know. Life is always a struggle between the selves within you. For you more than most, perhaps. You must be patient, I think, and understanding. Do not think that peace will come immediately.

[ He nods. The titan hasn't moved or made a noise since they started talking. ]

Thank you. It should be safe for you to go. I think I'll be okay, and he won't try to follow you.

Re: Mirror Room

[cihuatlatoani]

Very well. I will take my leave. Remember what I have told you, but think about the matter yourself, as well. Do not be afraid to seek advice from others.
