[ there's a sharp drop in his emotions even if his tone and expression don't change. ]
No. I'd never seen them before the island, actually. They're usually just in stories. But that's right. Something keeping them from passing on, or something they want to accomplish. One of the two.
They are, yes. ..There can be a universe where they don't appear but, obviously not something I can reach. Not in my loops.
[ ... ] I just.. know anytime I'm infected, I try to win and beat the loop as fast as I can. The sooner, the better. I.. I don't like being that way for long. Having those thoughts in my head.
..Yes. I'm just constantly haunted by the urge and thoughts of wanting to eliminate humans. So long as I stay within those loops where I'm infected, I can't get away from it.
[ the emotions that come from them are more akin to static. a mix of dread... guilt... some more tormented feelings. to go from being just yourself to something so twisted... as simple as a switch? it's terrifying. ] But.. at least there is no worry about Gnosia here.
[ of course, had there been.. it probably would have been obvious right away. ]
[ stop using their gnosia icon on me im so sad. but anyway, jonas can recognize those emotions, and it means he's just adjusting his own to try and exude calm. a little apologetic for the things he's been asking. ]
...sounds pretty scary when you know yourself better. [ hum. ] At least Gnosia can't get you here. You're safe from that much. And even if it were...we'd figure something out.
[ hehe.. Their emotions flicker, before attempting to reel in at that calm, quieting down. they have no qualms with Jonas asking, for wanting to know. it's the idea of Gnosia possibly following that would have caused some concern. but it's fine. ]
...If it did have a way of following me here, priority would be to get rid of it immediately. But we would figure something out, yes. For now, we just have this house to finish looking through...
[ they know talk of Gnosia is a rather grim talk. if it starts to turn on how many they've killed... how many they have watched get erased by their own hand, how it happens. they shake their head, refocusing on their exploration. ] ..Sorry, shall we?

...I can understand the sentiment of wanting to accomplish something, especially something important. It would be hard to move on if it wasn't done.
[ poor ghosts but also valid. ]
no subject
Even at the expense of other people?
no subject
Maybe, it depends. [ complicated. ]
no subject
Depends on what?
no subject
[ they just think, you know, if they were a ghost and had something important to do... they wouldn't be able to move on.

As far as I've seen, ghosts only really want to save themselves. So. I don't know if I could agree. But it's okay, I was just wondering.
no subject
Mm, I would have to take your word for it. At most I'm used to dealing with just people and Gnosia. Not really ghosts so.
[ but there's a frown as they give thought that they would only want to save themselves. ghosts are... selfish...? ]
no subject
But the Gnosia are pretty bad too, right? You can't really get away from them no matter what loop you're in.

...because they're...like...not your own thoughts? More intrusive for something else taking control.

Sure. Let's see what else there is.
[ and we can handwave they explored before getting spooked and leaving to gently close this thread. ]
